Faults are thick whereas love is thin.

It is easier to find fault or criticize someone than it is to truly love or appreciate them. The proverb  suggests that when affection or care is lacking in a relationship, people tend to focus more on the flaws and shortcomings of others。

The origin of the proverb "faults are thick where love is thin" is not tied to a specific historical source but reflects a belief that in relationships where love is weak or lacking, faults are more noticeable and more likely to cause problems. The message suggests that when love is strong, people are more likely to overlook minor issues, but when love is weak or absent, even small faults become more significant. This proverb is often used to explain why relationships with little affection or care tend to have more conflicts or dissatisfaction, as the lack of love makes faults appear more pronounced.

Examples of how this proverb can be applied: In romantic relationships: When a couple's love fades, they might start focusing on each other's flaws and argue more frequently. In friendships: If a friendship becomes strained, friends might start noticing and criticizing each other's actions more than before. In family relationships: When family members' bond weakens, they might become more critical of each other's behaviors. In work relationships: When there is a lack of trust or respect in the workplace, people might be more likely to point out each other's mistakes or shortcomings

I'd say "where" instead of "whereas." Source please?
