In the bedroom, John and Jennifer, a married couple celebrating their 10th anniversary, engaged in passionate lovemaking. However, their intimate moments were disrupted when John's phone buzzed with an incoming call. Frustrated, he demanded to know who it was so late at night. Reluctantly, Jennifer admitted it was her mother, wanting to know if she had seen photos of her latest family vacation on Facebook.
Angered by the interruption, John stormed out of the room, leaving Jennifer feeling guilty and afraid. Hours later, he returned looking for sex again, but Jennifer was too upset and rejected him. Instead, she suggested they work on their relationship by attending couples therapy together.
Feeling trapped and unhappy in their marriage, John eventually agreed. However, during their first session with the therapist, they were both surprised when she recommended they take a break from each other for a few months to explore their individual interests and desires before deciding whether to pursue divorce or work on salvaging their marriage.
