We can reconnect during that time.
But very often, people do other things with it.
They say, oh, you know, I've been putting off getting to the gym because, you know,
I haven't lost all the weight or got my body back to where it was.
So they go to the gym.
Now they're in a different social circle.
They're interacting with other people who don't know them as a mom and who know them as an independent woman or a man.
And suddenly we have opportunities.
We have opportunities for new connections with people that start to create in us a dissatisfaction.
Add to this what I consider the greatest amplifier in the world and the greatest help to the practice of matrimonial law that we ever didn't need.
That is social media.
Because in social media, you're watching everyone's greatest hits while living your gag reel.
So you're comparing your relationship and all of its flaws and all of its chaos with the curated perfect images of everyone else's marriage and parenting.
So of course, you're going to be very dissatisfied with yourself and you're going to feel like you're not doing as well.
So I think that that is where those things start to strain.
I think once kids get some autonomy in the form of a car or a license or go off to university, that's another opportunity for people to disconnect.
Once the children have, for example, completely gone out of the household, now they finish university, maybe they marry themselves or they become autonomous, that's another stress point.
So I think it's always transition points and stress points.
You know, for some people, we have what we call the midlife crisis.
I think it happens later than midlife.
