Why My Parents’ Divorce Didn’t Make Me Cynical - Page 6

I see the importance of unconditional love
I’ve asked my parents what they saw in each other. My mom said “He was very handsome, and took me on nice trips” and my dad said “She was the most attractive woman I’d ever met.” Not quite the building blocks of a deep bond, huh? I learned through them that a connection cannot survive on one or two fleeting traits. My boyfriend and I have been broke and hideous in front of each other, and still felt very happy. I see the value in that because of my parent’s divorce.
