Consider this example: Your spouse doesn't seem to be paying much attention to you, so you start to hang out with a friend
at work more and more often. Your spouse, feeling ignored
at the same time, looks to others for companionship and friendship instead of you. Trouble started innocently enough — there's nothing wrong with hanging out with friends. But
at some
point these people have developed 2 completely
different lives and after a few years
probably don't have much
in common anymore.
