There is also something to just not getting divorced (assuming both parties are relatively trying for the most part). Just surviving the rough periods. Next thing you know you’ve been married forever and you have this comfortability/history with this one person. It feels like love to me.
This is marriage in a nutshell. It's 2 people who are willing to be committed to staying together and building a family. They start at the beginning with a spark of great love and attraction. Sometimes you just have to keep looking and remembering those great times because it's rough in the trenches. You briefly emerge from those trenches and enjoy a good time here and there. But there's a lot of just day to day drudgery as with any life. Then you look back and see the life you built, the kids you raised, the home you have and it feels pretty good!
I think a lot of marriages end because one or both parties just give up and think divorce will fix whatever is bothering them. Much of the time, they end up divorced, but still unhappy unless they fix their own issues.

I know people say that a lot, but until you have lived it I am not sure people can be so certain.

Not sure. I’ll just go with the non-PC of FAT.

someone mentioned earlier how depressing the stories are in this thread. But they are only talking about the divorce not life afterwards. I can tell you single life as a middle aged, in shape, upper middle income guy is pretty great. My savings rate exploded after divorce. Only one person making those crazy purchases. Had a son....name and bloodline carries on. Job complete. No need to ever remarry.
All of this. Life is so much more pleasant

I hate to say this, but this is very true. It seemed as if my ex-SIL had a check list - found guy that makes 6 figures, date 2 years, buy expensive engagement ring, have expensive wedding, buy expensive house, have 1 child - get divorced before 5 years of marriage - she and her group of 6 friends ALL did this
I think this is a bit more of an issue with working women than stay-at-home, but there is definitely something that hits around mid 30's when they want to hit the Sex and the City lifestyle while they can.

This will be my ex. He still refuses to deal with his own issues on why he is so unhappy in general, even though he admits all the time it wasn’t just me he was unhappy with. Told him for years while married he needed his own friends to hang out with instead of just me. Did he listen after we split? Nope...Instead he pours all his energy/time into the coworker he started dating before divorce was final.

Me and the Ex just weren’t giving much anymore, she had a bunch of female issues, and I also didn’t think I was very fertile. Tried for a kid for 10 years, (longest 10 damn years of my life) we finally both mutually parted ways, but she was secretly seeing someone else(of course she was, that whore)... 4 months later she ended up getting pregnant for the other guy and it was pretty fricking crushing and I felt cursed and pretty much didn’t give a shite about my existence much anymore, until I found my current Fiancé. She told me up front that she had some female issues and probably can’t have kids and I told her well I don’t think I can either, so it was basically a cool deal let’s go with this. She had 3 surgeries within a year and was about to get a 4th until she took a pregnancy test and she was pregnant! So we are currently 5 months in now and my baby boy will be arriving in August and I couldn’t be more happy. I can’t wait! I’m so freaking excited to be a dad. We are getting married in Dec
Good for you, man!

I love being married. I ain't the greatest at it, but still love it.

I was an idiot and made a terrible choice.
