So gognitive dissonance would be a generalized feeling of disconnect and alienation from your gonads?

"Well, we used to get along; but we just don't communicate like we used to do."

"Nothing, not even a card for my birthday! I mean, what am I supposed to think? We used to be so close."

"I feel like we're not connected anymore."

"They just sort of drag me down."

"We're drifting apart and that's pretty painful."
