* '''Deconstructed''': Because Alice rushes into a second marriage shortly after being widowed, she's still grieving for her deceased husband and doesn't love Bob. He knows on some level, is distraught that she doesn't return his feelings, and resents being used. Their strained relationship makes the kids suffer. Plus, they miss their father, and Bob can never replace him.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob understands why she did it, and Alice is able to move forward and grow to love him. Even though Bob can't replace the children's father, he can at least have a positive relationship with them.
