After a recent split with my ex-wife, I decided to get together with an old friend. It was like there was a whole different type of connection present in the conversation. We were both fully present, engaged and laughing. Didn't really do too much except hang out, but I had a great time.

It made me realize that I hadn't really had a good time with my wife in years. On the few occasions I could get her out, she usually seemed bored, down and distracted. Was it depression, dissatisfaction with me? I'm not sure, but something was missing.
