As a two-term Democratic mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio earned mixed reviews, at best.
But now that he’s out office, he’s getting raves for the way he is handling an unexpected development: his separation from his wife and the transformation of their marriage.
It was an unexpected moment of both transparency and ambiguity that transfixed many New Yorkers.
The couple did not plan to divorce, they said, though they didn’t rule it out.
And it was, in its emotional risk taking, somehow very New York.
