It's about finding yourself, making yourself a better person, making yourself super attractive, strong and independent.
How can you do all of that when your spouse is like a big nasty zit on the end of your nose. What do you do with a nasty zit like that? Do you ignore it and treat like a neighbor? Oh hell no, you squeeze that thing until it pops and shoots puss all over the mirror. You can feel the immediate relief; within seconds you're more attractive, strong and independent. You've found yourself, the dude without the big nasty nose zit. People no longer look away when they're talking to you. Life is good again.
