The reasons people separate are interesting. Here at least something more substantial than the usual adolescent stuff about infidelity being the big deal-breaker. I agree with those who say, why is sex the defining thing, and not the much more important question (as this woman is asking) of the family and commitment to it? Not distributing blame equally here either, the guy sounds a dick, but why do so many couples assume that discussing these things is in some way trespassing on each other’s freedom? They’re not teenagers, although I still think an awful lot of relationships use adolescent ideas in how they understand themselves. We need more grown up ideas.
