[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt a LOT of sympathy for her in 2020. I married young, too, and although we were not evangelicals, we were Catholic and felt pressure to stay together. For years I hung in there, deeply unhappy but not sure how to fix it. One day I just had had enough and it was over. Too late to be patched up.
That said, I never in a million years thought it was my husband's fault. It was definitely 50/50 in that we both withdrew and led separate lives. I never pointed to him as the problem. I never blamed him for our unhappiness. We avoided further conflict and in the process became strangers and both of us let that happen.

I really question people who keep pointing to the other spouse as the "problem" in a marriage going bad. I think the vast majority of marriages end because both people stopped caring enough to reconnect with each other for whatever reason. Then one person -- in my first marriage it was me -- decides they have had it. But there was a long period there when neither one of us tried to put it back on track.

I wish Jen would take more responsibility for her part, if not please just stop talking about it. It's not good for their children and their extended families. [/quote]

A lot of wisdom here.[/quote]
