Reality is Stranger than Fiction- Almost Always
Kevin’s business trips were getting longer, and this was now impacting Lauren physically and emotionally. She didn’t want to do anything because he wasn’t around. Sometimes, she didn’t even want to get out of bed. Then she slowly became accustomed to this routine. In a way, she accepted that her husband would be away most of the time every month. This wasn’t a great feeling, but she had to cope.
So, she developed a new routine of her own in which she didn’t need to look for Kevin all the time and do things on her own.

But, with time, those emotions get dispersed, and you find a new way to live your life, where you don’t really need your loved one to be around all the time. That’s when troubles begin.
