The problem with many relationship break-ups is that often, one or more of the participants are not in touch with why things are not working. Obviously, the problem with that is that unless it gets sorted out, the issues will likely crop up again.
A good friend of mine who was married with two boys, had one of those enviable unions to the extent that when other couples were around them, their loving, respectful, nurturing relationship got on everyone else’s nerves. Invariably, after spending time with them, my wife would be sullen in the car ride home, and when prompted, would say, “Why the hell don’t you treat me the way Phil treats Amy?”
I hadn’t spoken to Phil in a number of years, as that can happen, and I asked how Amy was. He said, “She decided one day she didn’t want to be married anymore, so she packed her bags, and moved across the country.” Shocked was an understatement.
Unfortunately, we often don’t know what’s really going on in someone else’s head, and often, our own. Not a great paradigm for success.
