Grief can crush a relationship. It's just the way it is.
It may be more difficult to express and explore your grief with the person you love most and with whom you most share the grief than with someone who is not so important to you.
And grief can definitely hurt a couple's physical relationship. Sorry to get so personal, but a lot of DUers don't seem to understand what grief does.
It's interesting how people identify Elizabeth Edwards as the victim here. I see both of them as victimized in this situation.
Edwards defended Clinton in the Senate impeachment trial. Where is Clinton (also an adulterer) now that Edwards could use a little emotional and visual support? Shame on Bill Clinton for his silence.
