Around this time Frida and Benny began to grow apart. Frida was finally finding inner peace and independence,
not leaning so much on Benny for every little thing anymore.
There seemed to be a feeling of staying together out of habit instead of love. They were having arguments more often.
They, like Agnetha and Björn before them, began to fall out of love with each other.
"It was a frustrating time. We both wanted something else and yet as members of the
group we had to present a happy united front to the public.
It got to the point where we forced ourselves.
