I feel the word 'goal' is generous as I see them drifting as a couple in a lifestyle that in some respects is without goals.
... Nothing terribly untoward as such, but this sense of drifting with no real goals.
... It's what may have created a need for adventure, to push boundaries leading to tragedy.
SBM for focus
I couldn't agree more with this. I think their 6-year "adventure" has turned into a rather vacuous existence, and I feel that Esther has compensated for her lack of social and intellectual stimulation by setting herself physical challenges. Success in these gives her the sense of accomplishment she is unable to achieve elsewhere in her life. Like you, I realise none of this directly helps identify what has happened to Esther.
