| 894b5d3 | It is ironic that some people, like Guy, will minimize the emotional involvement to lessen the offense ("It meant nothing!"), while others, like Charmaine, will highlight the emotional nature of the bond for exactly the same purpose ("Nothing happened!")." | Esther Perel | ||

| 6223ee6 | Pentru ca sunt de parere ca o criza de infidelitate poate avea rezultate pozitive, am fost adeseori intrebata: "Deci, in cazul unui cuplu care are probleme, ii recomandati o relatie extraconjugala?"

Imaginatia noastra pare sa fie mai bogata in relatiile adulterine decat in cele oficiale. ... Partenerii nostri nu ne apartin; sunt doar imprumutati, cu optiunea de a reinnoi contractul... sau nu. Faptul ca ii putem.. | imagination infidelity love marriage | Esther Perel | |

| 37ecd12 | When we channel all our intimate needs into one person, we actually stand to make the relationship more vulnerable. | Esther Perel | ||
| 08e5f8b | Our partners do not belong to us; they are only on loan, with an option to renew--or not. Knowing that we can lose them does not have to undermine commitment; rather, it mandates an active engagement that long-term couples often lose. The realization that our loved ones are forever elusive should jolt us out of complacency, in the most positive sense. | Esther Perel | ||
