For as little as a few hours, as many as a few days, weeks, or even years, if you get married and meet a husband who likes to "play missing" all the time, how do you deal with yourself?
The answer from Claire, the wife of the Time Traveler, is: Wait.
In fact, Claire's real approach is to use her former love to resist the loneliness and fear of her husband's disappearance.
"The Time Traveler's Wife" uses a long space to tell the sincere love between Henry and Claire.
She had seen him when he was 6 years old, when Henry was 36, and he said to Claire, "I'm from the future, I'm a time traveler, and in the future we're friends." ”
At the age of 11, Claire played a game of divination board with her classmates, concluding that her future husband was named "Henry";
At the age of 13, Claire's longing for Henry reached a fiery level;
At the age of 17, Claire said to Henry, "I will not leave you, even though you always leave me." ”
At the age of 20, Claire joyfully told her friends around her: "I love him, he is my life." I had been waiting for him, for him with my whole life, and now, I had finally arrived. ”
Although Claire waited for her love at the age of 20 and married Henry 3 years later, the trials they faced were only beginning after they were married.
Because of Henry's frequent disappearances, Claire's first problem is the dilemma of being alone in an empty room night and not being satisfied emotionally and spiritually.
Because of Henry's frequent disappearances, Claire's second problem is that she can't conceive a child. Wait until you get pregnant with a child, but you have a habitual miscarriage. Trauma of one kind brought Claire close to the brink of collapse.
Because of Henry's frequent disappearances, Claire's third problem is that she can't stop worrying about Henry's safety. Because the various environments henry faced through his body were all kinds of strange: he accidentally encountered ice and snow, if he was not careful, he encountered crowds, and if he was not careful, he encountered bullets, so Claire's worries were also all the time.
Because of Henry's frequent disappearances, Claire's fourth problem is that she is unable to build a long-term and stable circle of friends. Because Henry has the problem of disappearing at any time, Claire cannot integrate into the circle of friends with Henry, and in the long run, this is a big blow to Claire's social life.
All of this is the bad influence of Claire because Henry likes to play missing at any time. Claire's life was like the life of a military sister-in-law. But why did Claire finally persist and be Henry's wife without resentment? We can find out why from the last shot of Time Traveler's Wife.
When Claire crossed the forest, through the lawn, through the river of time, and rushed into the arms of Henry, who had loved him from childhood to adulthood, the sky was full of light and the unspeakable beauty of life. Maybe that affectionate hug explains everything.
Yes, it is these countless hugs that remain in the depths of memory, the countless times of warmth and touch, the resistance to the countless times of cold and loneliness brought about by the loss of contact, and life has a term called "perseverance".
