Have to agree. My wife's second husband turned out to be a HUGE turnoff. That's why she divorced him and stayed single and out of circulation for 18 years before I came along.
Hmm! That must make me the third husband. Well, you know what they say, "Third time's the charm!"
although I have never been married, I am really starting to think people and things really DON'T change.
People are going to complain and argue about all the same crap that they argued about 15 or more years ago.
And most of the time, you only hear about half the story, there is usually a flip side to every coin.
If someone choses not to marry again that is their choice. If someone didn't learn the life's lessons the first time around, then it is probably best to not try it again until some time is spend reflecting on yourself.
Sorry guys for all the male bashing but not all females feel that way.

No problem. We're used to it. Thankfully my wife doesn't feel that way and she's the one who counts.
I don't care what group you are in, or how many times people have or haven't been married, there are a lot of miserable folks out there . . .
What is shocking is when you are with old friends and one of their husbands makes a pass at you -- and you get the feeling he has probably been doing that for many years, behind your friend's back. Now THAT is something to be concerned about (for your friend's sake).
But as for the rest . . . it is typical for folks to start having health problems after 50 . . . some folks age badly (wrinkles, pot belly, bald, etc) . . . so I don't think what you experienced was all that odd. You live with anyone 20 plus years and you are going to find there are habits or mannerisms that you probably are not crazy about . . . but if the main complaint is - eccentric mannerisms, demands, health issues, etc - that is pretty common. As long as someone's spouse isn't abusive, they are probably in a pretty typical mid-life relationship, lol.
I heard statistically second marriages are often better then the first. I am certain not everyone has the negative traits you describe. Cast a wider net maybe? Finding a place where others share an interest that does not involve being a functional alcoholic or a sedentary lifestyle might be a good idea.
