I think I’m a romantic person
Another episode—yet again a success—where the hosts quickly establish a natural, companionable rapport with their guest. Jean-Thomas Jobin allowed himself to share a few confidences, particularly about his love life. As the discussion progressed, he was asked about how he approaches being in love, as well as his strengths and weaknesses in this more intimate area of his life.
What is he like in love? Does he have someone in his life?
“Absent (laughs). No, wait… How am I in love? I mean, I think I’m a romantic person; I have nobody in my life right now, but I am someone who’s romantic and who really enjoys irony, you know, I’m someone who’s very ironic and deadpan, so I think to be well in a relationship there has to be romance and irony, and the deadpan has to be present, because life, for me, is so… when there’s no deadpan… I can also be very serious when needed, substantial conversations, I’m not always joking around, but I love a lot of lightness, goofing around…” he explains.
His strengths and weaknesses in love
“(…) I think my tendency toward solitude, my need for independence, can challenge another person because it can catch up with me; I need my me-time, not because the other person annoys me, but because I have a bit of introspection when I’m alone, so perhaps my side that needs its own little world (…) I’m not clingy; for me, a relationship is a complemento to happiness, but being in a couple never becomes an entity; we’re two people who form a unit (…) there must be two people who enrich one another, whose happiness grows by being together (…) there’s always the risk that people stay in a relationship merely because they don’t love themselves and they need the other person’s gaze (…) I’d say that can create an issue (…) I’m awful at cooking, but I’m a resourceful person; I try to be helpful, kind, and lend a hand when I can (…) I’m a generous person (…) I’m someone who’s very sensitive, perhaps too much at times, but that’s okay… I’m glad to have that sensitivity; it’s a strength, but it can get heavy at times,” he shares in a very thoughtful manner.
