Quotes

When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn't a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for grandted, whuch might be the very thing so dear about it. Emily Giffin
When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance. Emily Giffin
I still think I love him more. It's one of those things you never know for certain because there's no way to enter all the relationship data in a computer and have it spit out a definitive answer. You can't quantify love, and if you try, you wind up focusing on misleading factors. Emily Giffin
Looking back, I question whether I really loved Nate, or just the security of our relationship. I wonder if my feelings for him didn’t have a lot to do with hating my job. From the bar exam through that first hellish year as an associate, Nate was my escape. And sometimes that can feel an awful lot like love. Emily Giffin
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition. Emily Giffin
Despite the fact that I have no regrets about how things turned out in my life, I still can't help wanting to understand my intense relationship with Leo, as well as that turbulent time between adolescence and adulthood when everything feels raw and invigorating and scary-and why those feelings are all coming back to me now. Emily Giffin
I just think that I screwed up what could have turned into a more significant relationship, or at least a lasting friendship. Emily Giffin
T know what they say about secrets. I've heard it all. That they can haunt and govern you. That they can poison relationships and divide families. That in the end, only the truth will set you free. Emily Giffin
Inevitably I draw on my own relationships when I write, so if I'm writing about a fight between a husband and his wife, of course I'm going to think about a recent fight with my husband. Or if I'm writing about sisters, of course I'm going to think about my sister. Emily Giffin
I decided that giving a girl a ring when you're not in a serious relationship is sort of like giving a guy a blow job when you have no real feelings for him. It makes everything feel a little cheap. It cheapens the giver and the recipient. Emily Giffin
I had never understood what people meant when they said they'd rather be alone if they couldn't be in the right relationship. Now I got it. Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin quote: "People generally didn't cheat in good relationships."
People generally didn't cheat in good relationships. Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin quote: "Being married cuts on your freedom. Having a husband or a..."
Being married cuts on your freedom. Having a husband or a relationship at all puts constraints on you. by Michael. Emily Giffin
There are no absolutes in relationships. You can't take anything for granted. You can count on absolutely nothing but the unexpected. You only get in trouble when you start thinking that you're some kind of exception to the rule. Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin quote: "It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to..."
It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to break apart, for them to be fixed. Emily Giffin
