[quote=Anonymous]It's a huge fear and it feels like I'm seeing signs of their troubles in my own marriage. DH is so blasé about it, he thinks everything is related to stress and a tough phase in life. He doesn't have any concern our marriage, which gives him the out to not have to open up. He's disconnected and unhappy.

But I saw my two stressed out parents ruin their marriage and lives. They had a particularly horrendous divorce after 20 years of marriage, nothing [i]happened[/i] other than regular wear and tear on a relationship.  Now I can look back and understand why my childhood was so intense. I don't want to make those mistakes. DH doesn't believe our current problems are that severe. I feel like we are walking down a path that eventually we'll disconnect enough that divorce becomes the easier choice than staying together.

Does it sound like i'm being hyper-sensitive? I literally have no childhood friends who's parents are divorced. I didn't realize this until after I had a child, but I've never had anyone I can relate to about this.  [/quote]
