Topics
Nora McNerney：讲述了她在2014年失去丈夫Aaron后，以及另一对夫妇Casey和Hope在同一天失去伴侣的经历，并探讨了在失去爱人后再次坠入爱河的感受和社会对此的反应。她分享了自己与新伴侣Matthew的爱情故事，以及她在面对新的感情时，如何处理对亡夫Aaron的思念和愧疚。她认为爱不是一场比赛，可以同时爱着不同的人。她还反思了人们对她在失去Aaron后很快找到新的爱情的质疑，并解释了她对爱的理解：爱不是一种有限的资源，而是可以无限扩张的。 Casey Jones：讲述了他与妻子Hope从中学时代相识相恋，并一直深爱着她的故事，以及Hope患有囊性纤维化疾病的经历。他描述了Hope去世的场景，以及他当时的心情和感受。在Hope去世后，他与Ashley相恋结婚，并认为对Hope的爱并没有消失，而是与对Ashley的爱并存。 Esther Perel：对Nora和Casey的故事进行了评论，并探讨了人们对丧偶者再次坠入爱河的看法和社会规范。她指出，人们对丧偶者再次坠入爱河的反应通常是“太快了”或“我很高兴你已经走出来了”，但后者是一种过于简化的说法。她认为，没有一个固定的时间表来规定人们应该在失去爱人后多久才能再次恋爱。她还探讨了不同文化中对丧偶者再次结婚的看法，以及人们对“唯一真爱”的浪漫观念如何影响人们对丧偶者再次坠入爱河的看法。
