With the exception of very few posters, I find it amazing how all these marriage failures were their ex's fault.
Not trying to be a dick or anything, but come on.
I think it would be understandable that folks who go through something like this would tend to see their mate's flaws in contributing to the demise.
I have found this to be one of the more interesting threads I have read at City-Data.
I'm in a long term marriage, 38 years now, that is doing just fine. But, I certainly have seen/experienced many of the issues brought up in this discussions thread. I think many of you have done a very good job of articulating the issues, even if colored a bit from your own perspective.
I'd just summarize that folks change over a long period of time, and sometimes in ways that the partner finds to be unacceptable. Also, I think that personalities are generally very complex, and the interactions between two folks likely has many errors in interpreting sentiments. What one finds cute and endearing in initial interactions, may become annoying as relationships continue on.
Also, I think a lot of couples underestimate the impact of having kids, or accepting kids, into the relationship. The impact can be a bit jarring, to say the least.
Good discussion though, seems like posters are expressing pretty legitimate sentiments, even if colored through their own filters (kind of hard to avoid, though).

You are to over the top for me. I need someone that is more of the norm?
