It was a strange thing, to still be in love with your wife and to not know if you liked her. What would happen when this was all over? Could you forgive someone if she hurt you and the people you love, if she truly believed she was only trying to help? I had filed for divorce, but that wasn't what I really wanted. What I really wanted was for all of us to go back two years, and start over. Had I ever really told her that?

Here's what no one ever tells you about love: it hurts, having your heart broken

When you’re hurting deeply, you go inward.

There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.
