Re: Rift between couples
While this may apply to some people, there are cases where someone has chronic or recurrent depression and not doing anything about it except let the period pass through temporarily only for it to hit back again. Sometimes depression goes away when the problem causing it is taken care of, but other times if it’s something serious such as losing a loved one etc., then a lot more time and in some cases even seeking medical help is needed.
If two people are emotionally connected and are a couple and one of them is feeling down, the other is bound to get affected by it. They just have a different way of coping with it because it’s not easy seeing your partner go through something like that. I’m not saying the other should throw tantrum fits but If the former isn’t doing anything about it and isn’t cooperative, it’ll eventually negatively affect the other person involved.
