[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are three primary bail out points:

1. After a year or two for those starter marriages where high school/college sweethearts get married solely because they happened to be dating each other when they reached graduation.

2. After the kids get to elementary school - as one of the PPs mentioned, it's all hands on deck during those baby/toddler years, and then some couples look up and realize how broken their marriage has become.

3. After the kids get to college - with the kids raised and gone, some couple see no remaining reason to be together. [/quote]

Agree. We are hitting the second wave. And it's the couples you would NOT suspect at all.[/quote]

Mid-40s second wave couple here, the type you wouldn't suspect and not sure if we will or won't divorce but we aren't happy.  She is resentful of certain ways I co-parented during early childhood years, I am resentful over the complete lack of an intimate life.  I wish we would have aired these earlier and made us more of a focus and my advice to young couples is to do that.  It's a lot harder to rekindle than you think both from the standpoint of putting aside past hurts but even finding the energy to want to.  It seems much easier to just start over with someone new, but of course we both know that's not what's best for the kids or that it's not unbelievably complicated to divorce.
