Barbora Bobulova: the secret of happiness
“For me, individual freedom is very important… I have been separated for many years and I have lived alone for many years, I’m happily single, not by choice but because it happened that way. I believe in love and marriage, but the wedding should not be at the beginning of the relationship but as a conclusion, when you are truly convinced. I see myself as a bride perhaps at 60/70 years old…. I have two teenage daughters who move a bit like two elephants, but two nice elephants, we get along, we argue, I scold them.”

I couldn’t go to war with someone I had children with
“I’m not raising my daughters alone… the father is very present. There are weekends when we eat together, we try to tackle all the problems together. We remained united on a family level. I think it’s very important for children. I wouldn’t be able to make war on a person with whom I had children, and shared something as beautiful as having children. For me it is incomprehensible to see the struggles that occur during separations. For children, any separation is a trauma, it was a trauma for my daughters too, but it becomes less hard if you face it together, trying to hurt the other as little as possible and accepting that the relationship as it is can no longer work and that separation is not always a failure. In love you have to be happy otherwise you can’t call it love.”
