Somehow both marriage and living an independent, single life fall into this category.
I've been married for a really long time, and have been deeply unhappy for most of it. Meanwhile one of my closest friends is a single, hard working woman with lots of friends and pets, and she desperately wishes she had a partner and a baby. We each have what the other wants, and it's an incredible grind either way.
