[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is incredibly common - one partner voices that they're unhappy and the other partner either doesn't realize how bad it is or doesn't care until it becomes clear that it's going to impact them negatively (divorce).  By then the first partner is over it, and the second partner goes around telling people that the first partner refused to try.  [/quote]

This happened to me.  Voiced my unhappiness and that I wasn't OK with certain behavior in the marriage.  Did marital therapy.  Said clearly and repeatedly that absent behavioral change, I would end the relationship.  It didn't happen (over about 2.5 years), and when I ended the relationship, ex was surprised.

For about 2 years, he continued to try to get back together with me, but it was too late.  I had already moved on.  I also didn't want to live in a relationship in which I had to walk out the door to generate change.

Sad, but his loss.

Not sure what he tells other people, but also don't care.  [/quote]
