Quotes by Rhaina Cohen  (?)

“There is freedom in the unfamiliar, when the kind of relationship you have exists outside of well-worn categories.”
Rhaina Cohen, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center

“I began to see how these unusual relationships can also be a provocation—unsettling the set of societal tenets that circumscribe our intimate lives: That the central and most important person in one’s life should be a romantic partner, and friends are the supporting cast. That romantic love is the real thing, and if people claim they feel strong platonic love, it must not really be platonic. That adults who raise kids together should be having sex with each other, and marriage deserves special treatment by the state.”
Rhaina Cohen, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center

“While working on the book, I learned there was a clinical term for this pain about a lost future: intrapsychic grief, which the hospital chaplain and writer J.S. Park describes as “grieving what could have been and will never be.”
