The biography reads as a series of interruptions arriving from outside. Firms restructure, partners leave abruptly, plans are overturned by events, and the native, who considers themselves reasonable and consistent, is forever adjusting to somebody else's sudden decision. What is harder to see is the selection: the steady options were available and were found unbearably dull. This is the opposition's usual trick, and here it is performed with unusual conviction, because the disruption really does keep arriving in the post.
Relationships carry most of the load. The native is drawn to people who will not be pinned down and then works hard to pin them down, which produces the specific misery of this contact: a fierce attachment to someone whose availability is the very thing being fought over. Reversed, the native is the one who cannot be relied upon, and is genuinely bewildered by the accusation. Jealousy and freedom get argued about in the same sentence for years.
Holding both ends means arranging a life with real independence built into it, so that the need is met by design rather than by detonation. Separate work, separate money, separate hours, agreed in advance and without drama, will dissolve most of what looks like fate under this angle. Natives who manage it become excellent in volatile fields, since they neither panic at sudden change nor manufacture it. Those who do not spend the whole of adult life explaining that it was the other person who was unstable.
