The husband had become complacent with his marriage and our character could not effectively control her behavior and emotions. She seeked comfort in having an affair and after reflecting on her self-efficacy, realized that she is self-destructing and coping negatively with her problems. Through positive communication they were able to save their marriage and start to build back the love and trust they lost.

Our character has a low mental illness and a low well-being, which means she is languishing (Weiten, 2018). After speaking with her husband and expressing the overwhelming guilt, her husband helped instill hope for the marriage. Following that she was able to increase her resiliency and grit. After viewing a photo album and  reviewing the past experiences she developed gratitude for her marriage and the love that her family has given her.

The gender roles in our character's life play along the lines of the traditionalist views. She is the main caretaker and raises her and her husbands child. Her husband provides the financial stability for his family. The sex is nonexistent because the husband is always too busy with work. According to Bergeron (2016), her behavior has become bitter as a result of sexual frustration and feeling isolated from her husband. To handle this conflict, she has been having affair with the intent to feel loved. She has tried communicating her sexual frustration and the husband shrugs it off, telling her he had a long day or he is too tired.

Our character has evaluated her reasons for wanting to leave her marriage with her husband. She and her husband have a dependent child and the "determinants for staying in the marriage greatly outweigh the factors for divorce" (Fan, 2008). She still loves her husband but his distance and lack of communication has driven a wedge in their marriage. She never intended to divorce her husband, but seek out the attention and affection she has been missing.
