Growing Up Quotes by Esther Perel

Esther Perel

As a teenager growing up in Europe, I embraced the romantic ideal. For me, I had to give up the ideal that one person would be there for everything. Once you give up that ideal, then you begin to accept the person that you are with – the person who won’t be able to give you everything and who won’t be able to know exactly what you want and feel without you even needing to say it.

Esther Perel

People grow up learning to be silent about their sexuality, so where are they going to learn to talk about it when they are in a relationship? Shame, guilt, ignorance, reservation, prudishness, all kinds of different cultural systems and social stereotypes shroud sexuality in secrecy and in silence. And there’s the romantic notion. “If I say in the beginning, that I am missing something, you are instantly going to think that means you are not enough.”
