[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be surprised if the numbers are that high.  We're in our 40s and a LOT of our married friends are having marital problems these days -- couples that for a decade had been solid are now struggling.  I blame it on: elementary aged kids that involve a lot of parenting/activities/bdays, the novelty of marriage has slightly wore off and careers are in their peak.  Of all of our friends having trouble, no matter how f-d up the marital problems, as far as we know, none of them involved a cheating spouse (and we've spoken in yucky level of detail with a lot of these friends).

My thought is that there are maybe three prime off-ramp period for marriages. First is the starter marriage - a year or two in, probably no kids or real property. Couple just didn't know what they were getting into and bail out. Second is when the youngest kid hits elementary school. During the infant toddler years, there is no real time or energy to notice what's going wrong. Things calm down as the kids are in elementary full time, and you have time to see the wreckage that your marriage has become. Third is when the kids go to college. You've toughed it out for them and you're done. [/quote]
