I find the older I become, the less effort they put into showing a happy marriage. It's troubling and I often wonder if they stayed together and miserable for my sake or if there are still glimmers of the former love that I'm just not seeing in day-to-day operations. Since they both consider me a confidant, I find myself walking a tightrope of objectivity while still trying to remain supportive.
