We do attempts at communication, but they're blown off until the other partner realizes what they've done could cost them their marriage. I'm not sure how couples therapy is seen in Japan, but in America it's usually unhelpful unless both sides agree there's a problem and want to change. Divorce is the hardest option. It's not just "I'm moving out now", it's the ripping off the soul, traumatic even in the best cases. I think for this couple, cheating was the way to get what they wanted without sacrificing the marriage that they still valued. It's a "win-win" so long as they ignore the moral side of things.
Is having an affair the go to stress reliever if marriage isn’t working out lmao. Even the side characters are cheating. What happened to good old fashioned communication and couples therapy or in this case divorce
