[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We separated at 16 years and it comes down to stress. Basically the pressure just kept building and building until we lost faith in each other and everything just exploded. When stress levels are managed it’s easier to laugh, which further de-stresses. But as the anxiety levels rise, rational thinking and the ability listen and trust decline and you get trapped in this complicated drama triangle that is almost impossible to escape. [/quote] It amazes me based on what I read on this board how many marriages seem to implode at the 15-17 year mark, including my own. It seems to be a time where a lot of different stressors converge: teens, older parents, perimenopause, mid life crisis, love life going stale, career woes. You have to do counseling and power through it, although I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t manage it.[/quote]
