"Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing after 25 years of marriage, the Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner has announced, potentially leading to the costliest divorce settlement in history with $137 billion at stake."
The richest man in the world, currently worth about $137 billion, according to Bloomberg, made the divorce announcement on Wednesday on his Twitter.
[...]The split could lead [to] the costliest divorce is[sic] history, even if the couple doesn’t divide the money equally. There are no reports indicating the couple has a prenuptial agreement, meaning the wealth accumulated during their marriage would have to be split evenly.

Different AC. The relationship is different from both individuals in it. The relationship can become dysfunctional even as both parties are functional outside of that relationship role. But it can be, as you said, one party or the other may have done something to destabilize the relationship. Not necessarily, though... it does not have to be someone's fault. And no, both partners together can indeed reach conclusions even after 25 years that a phase of a relationship (like marriage) is over. After such a long period of shared life it is much more likely for such a thing to occur, and for the ending of the relationship to be amiable, than such a decision earlier. Such mutual decisions are often demonstrate that a relationship (like friendship) can exist between the formerly married couple. Blame, contrariwise, almost always poisons the post-marital relationship (which few people appreciate - even if staying in isolation from each other there is still a post-marriage relationship). While sexuality may be part of the reasons for dissolution, it does not have to be. About the only thing you can say here is that it is doubtful economics play a factor - which is right alongside fidelity as the top reason marriage relationships become strained. Surprises do happen, though.
