Many, if not most, people that end up divorced all never express any intention of divorce whatsoever.

Ummm, I dn't think anyone did. I'm simply supporting my own theory with some internet citation.

So, 23098 posts later you agree with me by saying almost exactly what I said in the first place. Thanks.

I think that it is the opposite.

I think that it is extremely rare for a happy marriage (especially a long term one) to suddenly end in divorce. I think was it more common is to have issues/struggles over the years and finally get to a point where those struggles are no longer worth it. I think that is why empty nest divorces are not that uncommon. When they were raising children together there was still a reason to struggle though those issues. Once the children are grown there is not. The marriage did not suddenly turn bad, it was no worse than it was all along, there was no longer a reason to live in an unhappy marriage.

Don't know either. The only people IME to have complained about "loud music" was the older people (you know, the one's in their 80's!!-lol!!). Then they usually move to a quieter place if it is too much for them for awhile.

that's about the way of it. there is no reason for a HAPPY marriage to end in divorce. that makes no sense.

my marriage was less than mediocre for a long, long time. I stayed for a long, long time because I wasn't ready to jump out of it -- especially with 3 young kids. When I turned 40, I took a long look at what was left of my child-raising years and decided that I just didn't want to do it that way any more. Ex did some things that made THAT decision really very easy. About 6 weeks later I asked him to leave -- and I never looked back.

2nd marriage now -- and I'm happier than I have ever been. I can't imagine any circumstance with Steve that would even make me think of divorce....
