[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on. No man makes it through 20 years of marriage only to suddenly suffer a divorce due to mishandling “peri.” He was likely a bad partner well before that and the kids being older gives his wife more ability to leave him. But sure blame it all on the hormones, never heard that one before. [/quote]
Exactly this. [/quote]

I dunno. I have friends whose husbands, like you said, aren’t the best partners. But these women picked up the load when younger. [b]Now, they’re older, the kids are older, they aren’t seeing as much of an upside to staying with someone who still isn’t a great partner. [/b]And their patience is much lower, given everything going on with their bodies. The husbands are very clueless and aren’t flexible on expectations around sex etc. It has become a deal breaker for a couple friends and I won’t be surprised if more follow in the coming years. [/quote]

I think a lot of women tell themselves "Maybe he's just not a baby/little kid person, and he'll get more involved as the kids get older." Or, "He's just struggling with the transition because he wasn't around kids when he was younger. He'll grow up soon."

When that doesn't happen, it starts to feel like you started your family with the wrong person. After you've been parenting functionally alone for 12-15 years, you start to wonder what the other person is bringing to the table, exactly. [/quote]

All of this. Plus if they are lazy or selfish about sex it starts to feel really pointless. [/quote]
