clearing the deck - the marriage status thread

CapitalCitySaint said

No matter how bad a marriage is, barring some sort of real abuse, is it ever one person's fault. One person's actions may have been more catipulting than the other but usually, there is plenty of blame to go around. Sometimes it isn't the actions you took that led to divorce but your inactions.

Truth.

When my first wife wanted a divorce, every single person in our lives thought she was nuts, because they thought I checked all the boxes.

Well, maybe I checked all of their old-school boxes but, 40 years later, I still occasionally have to tell my mom (and hers!!) that I had a notable share of blame in things falling apart.

That said, she is on husband #4 sooooo.... :hihi:
