[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re happily married for the long term until you’re not. It’s like flipping a light switch when it happens.[/quote]

A DP here, not the OP, but from the many posts on DCUM over the years, it seems that even if a sudden collapse of a marriage [i]feels[/i] like "flipping a light switch" -- that's often not truly the case. Yes, absolutely people do get badly blindsided, especially if their spouses have been good at keeping secrets. Being blindsided is real, and happens even to smart and observant people (I know this from some close friends' experiences with spouses who were living carefully veiled double lives, emotionally). But many times there are signs before that light switch flips; the signs just don't always add up clearly to the observer who is looking at them from [i]inside[/i] the marriage. That's when asking questions on a forum like this one can sometimes help, as can seeing a therapist or counselor, or otherwise getting an outside view.[/quote]
