She broke up a marriage over not getting a birthday gift.

Like that is not the point.

That's not the point.

So if anyone thinks that the point is that she didn't get like a Cartier love bracelet from her husband that birthday, that is not it.

What they broke up over and what that birthday present or lack thereof symbolised was the fact that they had grown apart so much that

that he couldn't even think of anything to get her because he didn't know her anymore.

That's where like the important part is here.

And it's a really fair thing to say because she sounds like she also felt the same way about him.

They had literally grown apart, which is what happened.

happens in so many relationships and I think it's something that's always like considered okay to say when you're just dating but once there's like a marriage license or children involved it like somehow seems like a like a PR line to be like oh they grew apart like it's like yeah you know a lot of people call bullshit on that but it is actually how a lot of relationships do fizzle out and end it is like a chipping away over time where you suddenly look at this person you're like I don't even really know you anymore

That wasn't the issue.

That's not the issue at all.

It's also like, it's not even necessarily about like a tangible thing.

It's like, have you thought about me?

to the extent where you've thought oh I love this person it's their birthday I want to do something for them and it's the it's the act of thinking about them and going out and buying a card or buying you know buying something that you think I want to give them something that's going to put a smile on their face and make them know how much I care about them and cherish them so it's not necessarily about like a tangible gift either and what I think like a lot of

not just like people that hear this interview, like they will relate to that.

They will understand they'll have been through that themselves.

And like it is so indicative of what any relationship and any relationship that ends is like.

I was going to say, there is, like, there's no way she was that hard to track down that that was the only opportunity to do it as well.

I mean, if you're saying I have to choose to, you know that the possibility is that it's not the case.
