@heavyphil Yes, that and the idea that your life partner is meant to be your *first* stop for seeking comfort or sharing any news, good or bad.

If someone else displaces you as your partner's "tier 1 support" (as they'd say in tech), then there might be a serious problem, regardless of whether or not there's sexual infidelity.

@northoftheborder Watching Netflix last night and a trailer for some new series popped up; I forget what it was but there was a line spoken by the lead character: ‘What do you do when you finally realize that you married the wrong person?” It does happen, which is why the divorce rate is so freakin high (like 50%).
Many times it’s just life’s struggles that get in the way of that original bliss…but for many those ‘irreconcilable differences’ are just too big a hurdle to overcome.
How can you love another person if you’ve discovered that you don’t even like them?
