Scenario

When family members avoid each other in shared public spaces

My brother and I both use the same gym and we've never acknowledged it to each other even though we've definitely seen each other there. Now I'm wondering if we should start going together or if there's a reason we're both pretending this shared space doesn't exist between us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

How we can be intimate and distant with the same people, and the strange rules we create about where we're allowed to encounter each other.
