[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s “worrisome” about this?  [/quote]

OP here. We know these couples for a long time and to us they looked average (some of them even happy), not in deep troubles so we were very surprised at first.
At least in my circle, after divorce some of them shared they are struggling financially while others have very obvious mental health issues (not sure if new issues or if issues were there before and spiraled after divorce)

From what I have seen the later divorces mostly happen among the ones who are financially comfortable and won’t have to take big cuts to their lifestyle.The rest plod on even if they aren’t very happy, except for the nincompoop who got his intern pregnant.[/quote]
I think this is key. I know a couple struggling, not sure if they will divorce but it's a high probability outcome. They had a dynamic (DH is a workaholic) that wouldn't work for a lot of couples but seemed to for them for years. Kids are now older, HS, so you'd think it would be easier. But the DW just snapped, and they are in a very precarious position. It's almost as if having the kids be a bit more independent gives at least one person in the couple the space to realize how unhappy they have been.[/quote]
