The most common reasons given for the breakdown of marriages or live-in partnerships in Britain are communication problems and growing apart, according to analysis by UCL researchers of the latest National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3).
[...] Natsal is the largest scientific study of sexual health lifestyles in Britain. It is carried out by UCL, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and NatCen Social Research [sic]
Natsal is run every 10 years, and includes a representative sample of men and women resident in Britain aged between 16 and 74. Natsal-3 was carried out between 2010 and 2012.
The study focused on the responses of 706 men and 1254 women to questions about their reasons for breakdown of a marriage or cohabiting relationship in the past 5 years.
[UCL is, of course, University College London. It has as part of one of its faculties the above-mentioned school.]

It is normal, if you neglect your relationship. "People change" is an anodyne observation. Relationships, like everything else in life, requires maintenance to keep in good shape. If you don't put in the effort to maintain it, of course it will fall apart.
Again, pretty much how it came apart. Typical female emotional BS coupled with a clueless husband over a long period of time. Amicable divorce, we still are united in raising our son even if we live in different houses.
I'm a damn fool too, looking for a new one. :)

Re-marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

My goal is to never get another divorce, even if that means I never marry again. Even an easy one like mine still sucked and cost a bunch of money. I shudder to think what a knock-down drag-out one costs.

Why marry when you still can live together and make kids regardless?

Make kids? HELL NO. My refusal to make more kids was the main reason I got divorced in the first place.
