This is absolutely not a reason to divorce. It is just a season of marriage. Don’t be stupid.[/quote]

All of marriages have stages.  You are a low point.  Been there myself and then time, kids ages, life, work move on and you get back to happy, even grow much mor in love.

I read a study where most people these days jump ship at first sign of discomfort/adversity.  Any subsequent marriage will end up same over time.[/quote]

I really hate this advice because it kept me in a bad marriage for 10 years. “Marriage has stages—it’s hard.” This is not always true. Mine was hard the whole time…hard for 10 years. Time only made it worse and my biggest regret is not leaving before wasting all those years. [/quote]

This is why in my above comment I wrote “give it time.” I have seen so many people, especially women, invest way too much in a marriage that was just not a good fit. I do think OP is asking too much do her spouse but that doesn’t mean the solution is to want less, it might be to look for that elsewhere.

But I still think this is a bad time to evaluate things. [/quote]
