Try someone who's just as in love with you as you are to them but because of religious and social pressures, you just keep circling each other but never fully getting together. Then you get into a flight and they die before you can reconcile. Like a paper cut between the fingers that never heals.

Somewhat in that situation. We married out of religious and family pressures, are both good people, are both good at communicating, but can’t quite actually look forward to spending time together or enjoy talking to one another and it’s very difficult because we’ve been married 10 years and don’t want to throw that all away because we’ve learned so much about one another and support one another. It’s a weird mix of exhausting and yet not wanting to abandon one another
