1
When you're looking out for a partner,
2
try to find one who's had their heart very badly broken by one or even better two or three exes.
3
Imagine you're on a date across the table from someone with a truly tragic story to tell.
4
Their ex pursued them intensely for a year, proposed after six months, bought a house with them and spoke excitedly about children.
5
Then it emerged that from the very beginning there had been another family.
6
There was even a new baby in the month of the proposal.
7
We compose our face into an expression of gravity and sympathy.
8
We might murmur, how awful, and that must have been devastating.
9
But another thought should quietly cross our minds.
10
This may be one of the most promising things we could ever have learned about a new companion
11
or indeed about anyone we might hope to love.
12
Dating profiles tend to mention hobbies and show us photographs.
13
The more important detail gets left off –
14
that this is someone who cried for two years over a person they used to call squirrel.
15
We could naturally learn the wrong lessons from having our heart broken.
16
But we might also return to love with a heightened sense of gratitude and responsibility.
17
There's nothing like waiting desperately for a reply to a text to teach us the value of answering promptly to messages.
18
Having always had to initiate sex, we'll become very careful about explaining those evenings when we're not in the mood.
19
After months of shouting, a quiet walk around the block discussing the local architecture tends to feel thrilling.
20
Someone who's never offered to pay becomes our finest teacher in generosity.
21
With our hearts broken, we stop scoffing at steadiness, we learn to be properly grateful for tenderness,
22
we say a thank you built out of years of crying for a bunch of primroses or a handmade card.
23
And if the partner ever did have to leave us,
24
there is an above average chance that they would think very carefully about how to do the ending.
25
We are sorry, of course, for anyone who does get their hearts broken.
26
The ex really did seem beastly, but a part of our mind can't
27
and shouldn't help thanking every monster for taking our prospective companion on a journey to hell.
28
Our minds are by nature ungrateful.
29
don't learn too much about love from being only loved well.
30
It generally takes an affair to make us appreciate honesty.
31
The foundation of a capacity to love properly might just be heartbreak.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
