Can you imagine, finally showing your true self to your spouse, your soul mate, and having him not like you?

Gillian Flynn
About This Quote

Life is full of heartbreaks, but when you love someone, you give them the chance to see the real you. Life is often painful when people expect things from us that we aren’t ready to give. We are forced to pretend in order to please others when they are not ready to accept our true selves. When you love someone, you want that person to always feel loved and accepted by you.

You don’t want to hide your true self from them. When the other person doesn’t like you for who you really are, it can be hard to accept.
