This is obviously a vicious circle. Most husbands who are involved in extramarital affairs explain their actions by saying that after marriage the partners are not able to progress at a similar pace, so that a gulf develops between them.
這顯然是個惡性循環：大多數丈夫外遇的說辭之一，是與太太「不能溝通」。換句話說，在二人婚後不能同時進步的情況下，婚姻於是出現鴻溝。
