[quote=Anonymous]I used to feel the same way.  This is gonna sound weird, but I have the sense that a lot of couples were waiting until their kids got their driver's licenses.  I think they were sort of stuck with each other until they could get through the hard logistics part of day to day life with kids.  A lot of guys seem to have left once the kids could drive themselves to activities.  A lot of women seemed to seriously contemplating leaving once life became manageable with older kids.
I felt like I didn't know anyone and then when my oldest turned sixteen it seemed like all the moms from the pool got divorced in the same year.
I also fully expect to see another wave the year the youngest goes to college.  I seem to hear a lot more conversations these days about the possibility of leaving.
Also, when various households in the neighborhood blew up, it was amazing to find out how many of your acquaintances were apparently carrying on affairs for years.  I was impressed if I could drive the car pool, get to work and get dinner on the table.  I have to say, I couldn't believe how many of my neighbors were able to do all that PLUS have an affair!  That's some pretty impressive multitasking, ladies![/quote]
