About This Quote
When you're in a relationship, you're not the only person who knows what's going on. There are friends, family, coworkers, and more who can see your relationship from different angles. When they see that things are going well, they tell you how great it is. When they see that things aren't going well, they tell you what you should be doing to fix it.
Usually, this sort of feedback is helpful and validating, but sometimes it can be too much for one person to handle. In Denis' case, Beth's friends were telling him about their own relationships and how they were going. Beth was always there with a shoulder to cry on or a hug to give, but she never seemed to have enough time for him when he needed it most.
The more he heard from others about their relationships, the more he felt that Beth was moving away from him into a world of her own making with her friends and family. It was too much for Denis to deal with alone and he finally admitted to himself that she was no longer perfect for him after all.
