IN A column by Rod Dreher, a husband describes his intense loneliness in the face of his wife’s whirlwind social calendar:

My wife used to be my best friend. Now we just share a house and a bed. She has friends from her office, and goes out with them a lot. When all this started, I honestly thought she was seeing some guy. I’m not going into the details, but I’m truly convinced that she’s not. She’s just hanging out with other middle-aged women who are sick of their husbands too.

I suspect the real problem with this couple can be summed up in one word: contraception.
