Enemy, or love story

No matter how I imagine, to shape you according to your lover, and to try to figure you out according to your enemies, I can never imagine that my spouse is so complex, sophisticated, sensitive, a creature that is incompatible with me but sympathetic to me.
The relationship between John and Marianne is the representative state of marriage—the importance of distance. They went from skin-to-skin to carrying live ammunition, and their power was growing and falling like a swing. Marianne is sensible, and she refuses her husband's sexual requests with dignity before going to bed, when John is exhausted.
When John announces that he has another love, Marianne is startled first, then actively prepares what John needs to get out of, and sets the alarm for him (the same rationale as he insists on canceling the taxi after their argument). She cried out to her friends about what happened to her and was devastated by the fact that it was known to everyone.
When John reappeared, Marianne was radiant, she had a new lover, consulted her doctor, and was in a calm mood. John rekindled his enthusiasm for her, from body to heart, but Marianne clutched her chest and pushed him away. It's a self-esteem tug of war.
Their most fiery and lingering argument broke out when Marianne held a piece of paper waiting for John to sign. They laughed and quarreled, cried and pulled, and fought each other with all their strength and disheveled hair. They viciously cursed each other as the culprit that brought them into such a situation. his lover, he longed to return home; Marianne said tearfully that she had been struggling, trying to make sense of reality. Calm in the house. With tears in his eyes, John signed the divorce settlement.
After a while, they drove out in the same novelty of a man and a woman on a tryst, in the car talking excitedly about each other's new partner, and they were going to a holiday cabin. In the hut, the two cherished each other, and they hugged each other and grieved after waking up from a nightmare. The peace and harmony that can only be obtained after separation, why be together?
