Is the trouble with marriage, or with you?

Re: Is the trouble with marriage, or with you?

People ask me the why question a lot. Why did it happen and why this and why that.

If I were to pinpoint exactly what one thing went wrong…its not possible. I dont think there is one big reason why it happens. Its always a mixture of multiple things that leads to a breaking point. If my husband was a great husband but had some female friends he knew how to keep as just friends…that wouldnt be a reason for me to divorce. If my husband’s mother was mean but he was great…that still wouldnt be a reason to bail. If finances were tight but our relationship was healthy…still wouldnt bail.

Its never just one thing.

Thats exactly it. A friend once made an interesting observation. She said: have you noticed that when we speak to someone thats been divorced, they’re actually really nice. All the accusations of the ex seem so weird when compared to this person in front of them.

The ex’s are great people on their own separately…just not together.
