[quote=Anonymous]We married in grad school and seemed happy but didn't have a lot of "grownup" experience, either personally or together as a couple as we didn't date for long before we got engaged. We assumed it would be a forever relationship, but in hindsight I also didn't know a lot of things that would have been useful in building an actual relationship instead of a Hollywood montage one.

I finally realized it was over when after years of supporting his career growth and respecting his personal space as an introvert when he needed to decompress from the stressful job that he landed several years in that we never had time for each other and he was perfectly happy with it that way.

Whenever I tried to talk to him about it, he repeatedly assured me that his career was the only important thing in his life. We had grown so far apart and discovered that we had such drastically different life goals that I was actually kind of relieved to hear it and started shopping for apartments.

Remarried and it's like night and day. Thank goodness for second chances![/quote]
