All I meant was...   Written by Line (10/9/2005 5:35 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Isn't it just more proper to have pleasant feelings?, penned by Mary Ellen
Are you new?

...that what was considered the "correct" or "natural" attitude to take after a break-up struck me as being quite different in JA's day than in our own. Whether it was better or worse is another question! ;-) I just think that today it would be considered only human nature to notice your ex's less-than-stellar qualities after the break-up (and actually, a bit *un*natural if you didn't). Again, I didn't mean to make a value judgement about whether either was better or worse.
