Relationships thrive on honesty, communication, mutual caring, and time spent together. When one or more of these elements are missing, it may be that the relationship, no matter how passionate, simply isn't worth it. Right now, I'm getting none of the four from my H. Yes, kismet, it spoke loudly to me, too. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm afraid I am beginning to see that my marriage is providing absolutely nothing for me anymore.
As for the Bomb Diet, I agree. I have joked with close friends and family (that know) about how if they want to lose the weight and keep it off, have their H. tell them they're cheating and leaving.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
