Different things

They wanted different things. In itself this was not a problem, not always. But they wanted different things from each other. If they wanted different things but wanted the same things from each other, that could work for them. If they wanted different things from each other and they were each getting what they wanted, maybe that would work too. But they wanted each other to want the same things they wanted from each other and they weren't getting what they wanted, for neither of them could control their own wants, much less that of the other.
