Is it selfishness or ignorance though? Like I stated in my original post, I think at times people simply assume that there is nothing left to learn about their spouse and by the time they wake up to their mistake there is already a devide between them. As this happens, I think it's possible that people simply don't realize that communication is not as simple as it seems. Explaining your thoughts and feelings about any subject (even to someone you know) is almost impossible on the first try. As I stated earlier, all thoughts and concepts are linked and built up on each other. Imagine your conclusion as a brick on top of a pyramid with all the lower bricks being various other thoughts. In order for some one to reach a simmilar conclusion they will need to build a similar pyramid, otherwise they won't understand you.
