Es ist dieselbe alte Geschichte: Als Kinder suchen wir nach Bezugspersonen, die unser Überleben garantieren können. Aber meistens klappt es nicht so, wie es sollte. Das Ergebnis? Unausgewogene Bindungsmuster. Unsere Liebesbeziehungen werden zu einem Schlachtfeld, auf dem uns ein ganzes Arsenal emotionaler Waffen zur Verfügung steht, das von Selbstisolation bis zur völligen Vernichtung reicht. Das Schlüsselwort ist "Unsicherheit". Die Situation ist bereits kompliziert, wenn es sich um monogame Beziehungen handelt. Aber was passiert, wenn das Paradigma von der monogamen Denkweise zur Polyamorie wechselt, wenn der Imperativ lautet: Ich bin mit dir zusammen, weil du etwas Besonderes und Einzigartiges bist, aber nicht der Einzige? Das erklärt Jessica Fern in ihrem Buch, wo sie die Bindungstheorie auf CNM (Abkürzung für Consensual Non-monogamy) anwendet. Die Quintessenz? "Der Aufbau einer sicheren Beziehung zu unserem Selbst ist notwendig, um eine gesunde Bindung zu anderen Menschen zu entwickeln". Nun... Amen!
Prompted by her own series of painful heartbreaks, Australian journalist Stephens sets out to retell the stories of three different people in her debut book. Patrick, Ana and Claire are from different generations and backgrounds but they all share the experience of having relationships that they thought would last forever, suddenly breaking apart. Stephens transforms hours of conversation into three fictionalized stories in a set up that reminded me strongly of Lisa Taddeo's "Three Women". While intriguing, gripping and easy to read, I can't help but feel that by focusing on the relaionship before the break-up, Stephens slightly misjudges her own premise. Relatively little space is allocated to the actual break-ups, much less to the healing process that hopefully followed. I also feel that more voices with higher focus might have served the subject better. Nonetheless, this is a thoughtful book on an all too human experience, which is rarely this specifically written about otherwise.
