Well, I was being a bit facetious, but it did strike me reading that they were both not seeing the real person at all.
But it raises the question: Can you be unhappy without knowing all about it?
I think so. I think women have been living that way for ages. Look at all the forties and fifties housewives who got what they thought they were supposed to want and never realized why their lives were so unsatisfying when they had the 'perfect life'. Probably even thought they were happy - were happy. I suspect there are variations of happiness and contentment.
