No resumo de uma obra:

EN ATTENDANT BOJANGLES
OLIVIER BOURDEAUT

Autour du couple de fracassés inspirés formé par Louise et Georges, deux voies se croisent. Celle du fils, qui grandit au milieu des danses de salons, des mensonges littéraires et des voyages imaginaires de sa mère. Celle du père qui aime à s’épuiser son épouse dérivant entre folie et magie noire. Un conte goût champagne et xanax qui se lit en un sanglot.

Estou com dificuldades na compreensão desta frase. Alguma ajuda?

desgastar (psiquicamente)
Explanation:
É assim que entendo. Uma relação destrutiva em que o marido, fruto da sua forma de vida, desgasta, esgota a mulher.

O "se" (s'épuiser") parece-me designar a relação, a mulher é dele, não é a mulher de outra pessoa.

Pour lui, la défaite de 2002 s'explique par le fait que le gouvernement Jospin «a cherché jusqu'à s'épuiser ***son**** second souffle» après les deux


on se rend compte qu'il a tendance à s'épuiser ****son potentiel au bout d'une remontée de 25%, ce qui correspondrait à une parité euro/dollar ..
