Dave dumped Cherie after a month or so of casual rooting. She is suicidally heartbroken. He is back on Tinder. In a month he won’t remember her name. His only crime, telling her he loved her. That because he might have been after her arse.

I’m trying to understand her over-reaction to the affair, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Cherie’s of the world fall in love with themselves through the lens of someone else.

When that lens breaks they can’t love themselves anymore. Hence their heartbreak.

The psychology? Who knows. Maybe parents that didn’t give a stuff.
