I seriously doubt it was just that. More was brewing under the surface, and some of it could have just been ALL HER. Sometimes women get depressed & they can't even explain why! And some leave what they thought was a bad marraige only to find out their is nothing better out there. Some regret it.
I totally agree about the "
exhausting yourself to work it out" part , this was skipped from your wife. I believe it is the responsibiity of the UNHAPPY spouse is SPEAK UP, make an ISSUE Loud & clear - so things have
an opportunity to be overcome.
Sadly though, many do this very thing , women and men, and still they keep coming up empty handed , hitting a brick wall, no common ground, no passion, resentment continues. I think alot of us have DEAL BREAKERS and yes, many have a longer list than yours SouthBound.
I personally would not be able to remain in an unhappy / unfullfilling marraige. I am just too darn Selfish. I can admit it ! But I also give ALOT -so I expect alot in return.
I would blow the Vows to the wind (after a time of exhusting), get a divorce & be on a mission to find someone more compitable.
Here is an interesting thread about "Deal Breakers" Trenton Started a while back -
What are your deal breakers women?
