In essence this tension is a struggle between worldly satisfaction and satisfaction in the afterlife based on…

Without trust any relationship is bound to fall apart, once trust is broken one may become suspicious of their partner’s behavior and get consumed by their insecurity leading up to a disastrous split.

Although they have stayed together for my sake, I have come to realize that they are miserable together and that their marriage has been over for several years now.…
