What is love really? Are there as many interpretations as there are lovers? And the DIL/FIL relationship...interesting. I would wonder about the circumstances that would help that develop. All in all, sounds like a film worth seeing.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395228631699632403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-1295880911262739442010-07-20T16:28:09.122-04:002010-07-20T16:28:09.122-04:00materfamilias: I think the DIL/FIL bond can be dee...materfamilias: I think the DIL/FIL bond can be deep and special, a 'second father' without the baggage.

I know people who have chosen both roads- and a middle road: staying, but with a long-term secondary partner. There has been no clear winning strategy among those I've observed. Some who stayed (more these days for assets than propriety) are miserable and bitter. For others, the passion they felt for the new attraction passed.<br /><br />I think, though this may change should the situation present itself, I would not want a partner to stay knowing he truly yearned to be elsewhere.<br /><br />lagatta, that the other woman is younger is not just a reflection of what happens so often (and this taps into a fear many women have), but it is necessary to a twist of the plot- which I will not reveal! <br /><br />All: The DVD is also for sale on eBay.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-56664401232001040992010-07-20T15:02:37.942-04:002010-07-20T15:02:37.942-04:00spacegeek, it isn't an easy matter, as sometim...spacegeek, it isn't an easy matter, as sometimes sacrificing love or one's dreams can also mean sacrificing one's own élan and creating just as negative environment for one's children as leaving can (provided "leaving" doesn't mean abandoning all parental responsibilities, as is too often the case. <br /><br />I won't often speak of self about these things, and I'll be extremely general, but I have a long-distance "interest" who stayed too long in a dead marriage for the sake of their child, who is now an adult university graduate. Even after they separated, it has been very hard for him to give himself psychic permission to start life anew, though he is very fond of me.<br /><br />No 20-year age difference, en passant!lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-15555154151185035422010-07-20T13:43:36.098-04:002010-07-20T13:43:36.098-04:00Brings up the issue plaguing me lately it seems. ...Brings up the issue plaguing me lately it seems.

No surprise that Marie-Josée Croze is exactly 20 years younger than Auteuil. I assume that with a Duchesse recommendation it has redeeming features, such as complexity, but I confess I'd be more interested in a film where the new flame is closer in age to him and first wife.lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.com
