If you've recently sold a house, you probably spruced it up a bit before putting it on the market. Fresh paint, new carpet, clean closets - by the time you finished fixing it up, you may have had second thoughts about moving.
A similar phenomenon sometimes happens when someone is on their way out of a relationship. They may lose weight, start dressing differently, get a new hairstyle - all to attract a new mate. You have to wonder what difference it might have made in the old relationship if they had presented more of their 'best self' to their partner. Not that it's all about looks, but carelessness with appearance is often a superficial signal of more significant carelessness in the relationship.
Responding to your partner with the same care and attention you'd probably invest in someone new is a great way to increase the satisfaction in your current relationship.
