Despise

About This Novel
Italy's "Lu Xun"! What I long for is actually not breaking up, but falling in love again. Calvino, Camus, Eco, etc. Are all his loyal readers. "Contempt" is about the crisis of marriage and the inability of modern people to love. After two years of marriage, the husband kept losing ground in the face of work, money and ideals, and his wife's contempt became the biggest punishment for him. He always wondered why he was despised by his wife, but pushed her further and further away. An originally happy marriage was about to collapse. "I despise you, that's why I don't love you anymore."

There are many inner monologues, which are not like profiling. It feels like the male protagonist has been beautifying himself. Many people instinctively avoid responsibilities and do not admit their despicability.
The author's psychological description is very sharp. His doubts about his lover, his denial of himself, and his desire for love made me really empathize with him. I had a strong sense of empathy and I really liked it.
The protagonist's deep sense of powerlessness infected me. There was obviously a communication problem between him and his wife, but he didn't know that the two of them didn't know what the other was thinking, let alone communicate effectively.
The protagonist made the sweet couple look like this step by step. This kind of distrust of people around you, even those closest to you, often hurts those who really care about you.
