Factious Rights

There may be no intention to actually practice his right, yet its expression does an irreversible damage to the mutual understanding and relationship. The same is true between the relationship of wife and husband. Both have rights to quit living with the other. However expression of this right often dents such relationship to a point which cannot be removed. Just like my other post, this piece of writing has no conclusion.
