彼は私がロンドン行きを諦め、病気を受け入れ、仕事の整理をつけて治療に入るまで、ずっと海外から話を聞いてくれていた
でもすぐに価値観の違いが浮上してきた
人は状態が良い時、楽しい時は、ある程度誰とでも上手くやっていける
辛い時の向き合い方、その時のお互いの関与の仕方が、パートナーを選ぶ上で重要なんだと身を持って知らされることになった
もともとお互いが持っている自分とは異なるものに惹かれあった為、根本的な価値観が異なることに気付かざるを得なかった
He listened to me patiently as I gave up going to London, accept my illness, sorted out my work, and started receiving treatment while my life was falling apart
But we eventually started facing challenges - our difference in values of…fundamental things
When people are happy in a good condition, when we are having fun, we can get along well with anyone to some extent
I had to learn firsthand, that the way you face difficult times and the way you interact with each other at that time is most important when choosing a partner
Since we were originally attracted to what we each didn’t have, it was hardly a surprise that we had to face that our fundamental values were different
