残酷な真実：なぜあなたの元カレ（元カノ）は他人には完璧なのか (The Cruel Truth: Why Your Ex Is Perfect for Someone Else)
- It could sound like the grounds for bitterness were it not for one redemptive detail. The process is likely to be two ways. With any luck, we too will eventually meet someone who appears, entirely naturally, to have a deep understanding of themselves, a mature way of relating to their flaws and a deft way of sailing over the complexities of their character.

We'll think that this is the way they were born. No one will know and everyone will feel, after so many tears with their tricky ex, hugely blessed.
ある救済的な詳細がなければ、苦い思いをする根拠のように聞こえるかもしれない。その過程は二通りあるだろう。運がよければ、私たちもやがて、まったく自然に、自分自身を深く理解し、自分の欠点と成熟した関わり方をし、複雑な性格を巧みに乗り越えているように見える人に出会うだろう。彼らは、こちらが何か言おうと思う前に謝ってくれるだろう。ある特定の話題について、彼らは奇跡的に意見を受け入れるように見え、彼らの複雑な過去に対する洞察力は私たちを畏怖させる。私たちは、これが彼らの生まれつきの姿なのだと思うだろう。誰にも知られ
