In a separation it is the one who is not really in love who says the more tender things.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The quotation separates tender language from the depth of someone's love. In a separation, it claims, the less loving person may speak more gently. That reversal challenges the idea that affectionate words reliably show who feels the strongest attachment during a parting.
