Robin Wright Has Laid The Multiple Trust Issues From Her Past To Rest

The actress admitted during an interview that she has grown significantly since her three previous marriages. According to her, she often worried about the possibility of her partners stepping out on her back then, a phase she has left dead and buried in the past.
"I can't imagine feeling again what I felt then, which was jealous, suspicious. You grow out of it like you grow out of a pair of pants," the Hollywood figure noted. However, this has not changed her perspective on love as an emotion, as an action, describing herself as a romantic to the core.
"You can go through tumultuous, distressing relationships, but we rebound, don't we? Our hearts rebound with a belief that it's still there and it can be achieved, and how wonderful when it comes again," Wright declared to AARP.

Now that she is turning 60, Wright stated that she is sure of what she wants, and that is to grow old with somebody and take trips around the world. "That's exactly what I wanted. I'm turning 60 and I'm, like, 'Is this it?' I love being alone, and I've done that many times," the actress emphasized.
She encouraged people, younger and older than her, never to be afraid of making necessary mistakes or even flunking. She noted that human error remains a constant phenomenon in the history of living and having more than one chance to go again is the beauty of life.
