I think he and first wife married before they really knew what they wanted to do with their lives and what they wanted in a life partner. At 22, they were madly in love, but didn’t have realistic ideas of what marriage would be like.
I got married more than 25 years ago to someone who was an extremely good fit for me. We were very compatible and on the same page for many years. Then he had a midlife crisis and became a totally different person. He no longer wanted to be a devoted family man. Instead of coming home after work to his wife and children, he wanted to go out drinking with younger coworkers. Then he decided he missed the feeling of falling in love with someone new and wanted to explore new relationships. We’re getting divorced because he is no longer interested in monogamy or actively parenting his children on a daily basis. My values and behavior didn’t change. I still respect the institution of marriage. It’s unfair to judge me based on my marital status. I can’t force my husband to stay married to me and raise our children.
