[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my spouse's parents/family of origin lack emotional closeness. They are in frequent communication but only about surface-level things, which is how my spouse was raised. This in turn influenced the kinds of friendships my spouse was able to maintain. Not a lot of emotional intimacy in spite of being in frequent communication. So when spouse was in midlife crisis-mode due to the insanity of life/kids/jobs, there was no one to turn to to unpack all the emotions. This led to an ongoing affair and now I'm witnessing a total downward spiral. I think rock bottom is approaching. Of course this is the Cliff's Notes version, but I can see how family history is a factor in this and I hope to break that cycle with my own children.[/quote]
