Many modern women are experiencing a phenomenon termed "quiet quitting" in their marriages, characterized by a gradual decline in emotional connection without overt issues like infidelity or abuse. This resignation leads to a perception that marriages are meant to be mundane and that deep passion and joy are unrealistic expectations, especially after significant life changes like having children.

- The societal narrative suggests that after children or years together, deep emotional bonds are too much to expect.
