“What would you do?” “I honestly don’t know. That’s what’s so trying about all of this. It’s so completely, so thoroughly, unique to you. Like all of life. None of us can ever say for sure what we’d do without feeling all of someone else’s slings and arrows along the way.”

Are there even reasoned arguments to be made in matters of love, marriage, intimate life?”
