There were expectations of how the marriage would be by both parties going into the marriage. They were totally different and the expectations clashed like oil and vinegar. To me, it was obvious that these two people didn't sit down and talk about what they expected out of the marriage from each other.
One, perhaps, had a Barbara Cartland "happily ever after" expectation. The other had a "partner in the role they needed to play for the Firm, a mother of the heir and the spare and a support system for each other" expectation of marriage. Both didn't take the time to really find out what the other person really needed and marriage was a disappointment for both and both sought solace and support elsewhere.
