Chen Hsing-yu reacted with strong expletives to her ex-husband Chao Chien-ming's recent admission of having feelings for a nurse, with Chao also claiming he was the one forced into the divorce. This emotional outburst has been interpreted by relationship expert Shin Hsi-ya as a reflection of the deep love Chen once held for Chao.
But if Chao Chien-ming had treated me even a little better, we wouldn't have divorced.
Shin explained that if Chen had completely moved on, Chao's words and his interest in other women would not elicit such a strong emotional response. Chen's rare public display of distress, according to Shin, stems not from resentment but from the depth of her past affection. Chao's public acknowledgment of feelings for another woman, and his defense of her, would be particularly painful for a former spouse.
The person I liked is no longer this person.
Shin pointed to Chen's previous statements, such as "If Chao Chien-ming had treated me even a little better, we wouldn't have divorced" and "The person I liked is no longer this person," as evidence of her profound sense of loss and regret regarding the marriage. The expert believes that when someone invests complete trust and emotion into a relationship only to face disappointment, their emotional response does not simply vanish.
If a person has completely let go of an ex, no matter what they say or who they like, itโs difficult to stir their emotions. However, Chen Hsing-yuโs rare loss of control this time, I feel, is not resentment, but rather reflects how deeply she once loved Chao Chien-ming.
Shin lamented that the most frightening aspect of relationships isn't arguments or resentment, but the eventual absence of feeling for someone once deeply loved. She suggested that Chen's current emotional display is a testament to the lingering impact of love intertwined with disappointment, a sentiment that likely resonates with many who have been hurt in marriage.
The most frightening thing in a relationship is not arguments or resentment, but one day no longer having any feelings for the person you once deeply loved.
