Scenario

When spouses have opposite reactions to a difficult family death

My mother-in-law finally died after making our lives hell for years and my husband is devastated while I'm honestly relieved, and we both know how the other feels but we're pretending we don't because neither of us knows how to bridge that gap.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love requires space for conflicting truths, but they haven't learned how to hold them simultaneously.
