About This Quote

When you are in a relationship, you want the other person to be totally on your side. But, if you are Tibby, on the other hand, had spent hundreds and hundreds of hours with Brian striving for the comfort of not knowing. That is because you do not want to know too much about what goes on behind closed doors because that would make you feel connected and connectedness quiets the mind and provides comfort. You want to know nothing because you don’t want the difficult moments of life to touch your heart.

The problem with this method is that all relationships eventually end up in a place where things get messy and it is impossible to avoid knowing certain things. And, when that happens, then all your efforts to stay out of touch doesn’t work out well for you since you can no longer hide behind silence and ignorance.
