The author referenced the book as describing the inevitable "crisis of disappointment" that early relationships must endure before true connection can begin.

"

There generally is. I talk about that in the book, The Crisis of Disappointment, is one of the first crises that all nascent relationships must pass through. And on some level, the relationship doesn't even begin in earnest until couples go through the crisis of disappointment, where either through one significant betrayal or the accumulation of small inconsistencies, the fantasy on which the relationship has been based up until that point shatters.

I talk about that in the book is that we used to live in small communities where we actually had lots of different kinds of relationships with lots of different people and also in extended kin networks and intergenerational housing, for instance.
