About this Quote
In this quote, starlet Izabella Scorupco is assessing a previous relationship that lasted for 8 years. However, she exposes that throughout that time, they just spent a total of one year physically together. This recommends that their relationship was mainly long-distance or that they had a lot of time apart due to work or other commitments.

This quote highlights the difficulties and troubles that can develop in long-term relationships and the value of quality time invested together.
