If you love him, you will want to be integrated into his world, you will want to meet his friends, walk into his life, and you can participate in any of his joys. And if you don't love him, you just want him to fit into your life, and when he's elated in his own world, you'll feel left out instead. Therefore, it is not some unhappy marriage, and the entrustment is not human. It's just that the person in your heart is not him.
Amanda's marriage was actually just calming down, and meeting Dawson made her heart rip. I felt that this calm was really a stagnant pool. And all the hidden mysteries in the plot, and the negative hints to her husband in the novel, are just to make the final choice easier to accept. Because if her husband is an honest person with no fuss, it is not easy to cater to the audience's psychology.
In fact, since dating, Amanda has never put her heart on her husband. Isn't this something more worthy of criticism? Isn't the whole story that the audience sees actually a story about going back to her parents' home as an excuse, meeting an old love, and then cheating in marriage. You say poignant love? In fact, any story of derailment can be told to you in a eloquent manner.
The so-called best self is not when you are young or mature, but in the eyes of those who love you, you will always be the best self.
