The perception is that people stay together for the kid. It's really not the case. What happens is, with kids in the house, THEY become "your life" and you grow apart.

When you realize something, the kids are gone...and so is your relationship since it missed nuturing from being consumed with trying to be a good parent. The parents mean well and think they're doing what's best- and really, they are- just over-looking THEIR relationship.

Let's face reality, people stayed together into their retirement out of necessity.

It's difficult to have a relationship with anyone for fifty, sixty years. People get bored, tired of the mundane bullshite. Life becomes a job to some and people feel dead, numb.

The demands placed on the US labor force are immense, especially when you consider the dual income society at work. It's rigorous, and it fricks with many.

Sadly, this happens all too frequently. If the male feels isolated, he goes hunting elsewhere. If the female feels ignored, she does likewise. At that point it is just a matter of time before all comes tumbling down.
