A:
미국에서 “She drove a wedge between us” 더 자연스러워요. A wedge can split one thing into two things. But it’s not natural to say, “in between our relationship,” as the relationship itself can’t be divided in that way. But maybe, it’s just me!🤭

Other questions about "She"
Q:
I learned "" She came to see me == She came and saw me""
Is it also same that ""She sank back in her chair and closed her eyes = She sank back in her chair to close her eyes"" ??
Is it also same that ""She sank back in her chair and closed her eyes = She sank back in her chair to close her eyes"" ??
A:
It's not really the same.
The "to" expresses purpose. She came. Why? To see me. The "and" expresses a sequence of events. When she came (to my house), she immediately saw me. In this example, both sentence describe the same thing.
In the second example though: When she sank back in her chair, she immediately closed her eyes. That makes sense, so it's a good sentence. But the other sentence? She sank back in her chair. Why? To close her eyes. That's a little strange. It's POSSIBLE that her reason for sitting down was to close her eyes, but it's a little strange. This sentence doesn't make sense.

Q:
A. She said that he's not her type of man, that he isn't attractive.
Is it okay not to add "and" before "that he isn't attractive" as in "that he's not her type of man, and that he isn't attractive"?
Is it okay not to add "and" before "that he isn't attractive" as in "that he's not her type of man, and that he isn't attractive"?
A:
Both ways can work, but there is a nuance of difference in meaning which might be helpful to know:
"She said that he's not her type of man, that he isn't attractive." = this implies that he isn't her type of man /because/ he is not attractive.
"She said that he's not her type of man, and that he isn't attractive." = this implies that he isn't her type of man for other reasons. And then also in addition to that, he is not attractive, which is an extra reason that she doesn't like him.

Q:
A. She also said that she didn't want to be like her mother , that she wanted to be a normal woman, that she didn't like to mix with girls, that girls are petty.
I just came across sentence A in a book, but is it okay that there is not "and" before the last "that"?
I mean "and" should be added as in "..to mix with girls, and that girls are petty".
Is omitting "and" permitted in novels like this?

A:
Language rules in story telling is different. It is technically okay that there’s no “and” before “that”. It’s the author’s stylistic choice. In formal writing though, this would look bad.
