The author reflects on a past relationship with her ex-husband who reached out for advice after his girlfriend left him for another man. She recalls her emotions during their breakup, illustrating how infidelity impacted her self-esteem. Despite the pain, she remembers the good times and lessons learned during their 11-year relationship, highlighting his care during her illness and the cultural experiences he introduced her to. Over time, her feelings have evolved; he now feels more like a younger brother than a former spouse.
To be cheated on is to feel not only unattractive, but stupid. When I got the news, I raged, cried and hurled his expensive lambskin hat onto the sidewalk.
He's witty, sweet, a great cook and easy on the eyes. He introduced me to Beethoven's late quartets and the films of Tarkovsky.
