Choosing A Lifemate Quotes

“He’s whispering again. I’m finding it hard to hear, and we’re standing close together.
What do you want to ask?
‘If Hen/ was the same as she is now, in every way, but was a bit less physically attractive in one significant way, do you think you would have married her?’
I’m caught off guard by the question, but I don’t want to show that I am, so I don’t hesitate with my answer.
Of course, I say. I love Hen. Hen’s my wife. She’ll be with me forever. I’ve always loved he. I’ll always love her.
‘ I know that. I know. I don’t doubt you love her very much. That’s not really what I’m asking, though. Are you sure you would have married her? Committed to her forever? Think about it. Does her appearance not mean anything to you? Is that what you’re saying? That what she looks like is irrelevant?’
It’s such a blonde question. It seems out of line with everything else we talked about. I feel a trickle in sweat slide down my spine.
I’m saying, to me, no matter what, she would still be Hen.
‘Would she, though? Would she still be the Hen you fell in love with? What about this: What if she looked exactly as she does right now, but she was a little less intelligent? Would she still be Hen?’
That’s just stupid. It’s a stupid question. Hen is Hen.”

pg 18”
― Michael Ben Zehabe, Lamentations: how narcissistic leaders torment church and family
