Part 3/8:
As the narrative unfolds, we learn more about the narrator's motivations for her divorce. She describes a progression of misunderstandings and misconceptions—a sense of false superiority fueled by career success, degrees, and societal status. She acknowledges, with stark clarity, that true partnership means lifting each other up rather than maintaining an oppressive hierarchy of success.
The admission that her marital choices were based on a toxic perception of success lays bare the emotional toll of these decisions. As she navigates the dating scene post-divorce, her journey seems fraught with disappointment—each connection forming, often fleetingly, against a backdrop of loneliness that she grapples with time and again.
