Solution

The phenomenon described in the question is most consistent with the concept of self-verification. This psychological theory suggests that people prefer to interact with others who see them as they see themselves, even if their self-view is negative. Therefore, if a person with a negative self-view marries someone who views them positively, they may feel uncomfortable and withdraw from the relationship because it contradicts their self-perception.
