In "The Time Traveler's Wife", the male protagonist will often inevitably leave the female protagonist at home because he travels through time and space uncontrollably.
Such a plot is very much like us who are busy in real life: because of busy work and other reasons, we can't always accompany our loved ones at home. Sometimes, even if the husband and wife are in the same physical space, the thinking of both sides seems to be traveling through and cannot be synchronized.
No wonder some people say loneliness is the norm in life.
