I found myself the only woman in France who no longer had the right to work, to speak or to not be married. Trierweiler had always cherished her independence.
She grew up in a working-class family in Angers in the French provinces. An American soldier was killed. Massonneau survived but had his leg amputated. As a result, he did not work as an adult. By she was working as a reporter on Profession Politique magazine and later she joined Paris Match where she met her second husband, Denis, whose surname she still bears.
They were divorced in — three years after her relationship with Hollande was revealed. Trierweiler was reluctant to give up her career simply because her boyfriend had been elected president. Besides, she needed to keep working to support her three sons now aged 17, 20 and She started reviewing books for the magazine but even that attracted public opprobrium. Bruni-Sarkozy is one of a handful of former first ladies who sent Trierweiler supportive messages about the book. She remembers talking to Bruni-Sarkozy at the handover of the presidency and noticing her predecessor had tears in her eyes as she spoke.
What man would accept to play the role that a woman plays? To smile, to stay silent, to walk several steps behind his wife? Not one man would do it. Mr Merkel does not do it.
As a result, her opinions are more easily dismissed as the ravings of a vitriolic jilted woman, which is probably unfair. Does she now feel any guilt towards Royal? The culpability is not just mine, it must be his too. I was married as well. I had children. I was not some single woman who had come along to destroy their marriage. She gives me an icy glare. And yet critics say her memoir does a disservice to women.
I broach this with Trierweiler and she seizes on the notion. Is it OK to be mistreated by a man without saying anything? Our time is up. I turn the recorder off. She reaches for a green paper napkin on the table in front of us and I realise that she is crying. It is not a showy cry, designed to elicit sympathy. It is a quiet burst of tears, and she seems genuinely embarrassed, dabbing at her eyes quickly and apologising while trying to smile.
It is a display of unexpected fragility. People deal with heartbreak in different ways, not all of them rational. Trierweiler chose to write a book about it. After a very public infedility and an equally break-up with the president, Trierwieler published a tell-all book, Thank You For This Moment, in late Hollande and Gayet are reportedly still dating, though their joint appearances are rare.
