Very true words. If you have both of those things you really can overcome a ton of things. For me, keeping in mind we are both on the same team and not having a me vs. them mentality went a really long way. Sounds so easy on paper, but sometimes you can forget it along the way.

I don’t know. You can have patience and mutual respect and just understand that you’ve become very different people who want very different things out of life. I’ve been married over 25 years but I don’t believe that a divorce necessarily indicates a failed marriage.

Yeah. But mutual respect is a broad concept. We can respect our partner's choices even if they turn out to contradict ours, and we continue our life journey...

When my wife and I attended the Pre-Cana course before our wedding, the men and women were separated into separate lasses. The priest asked us guys how many of us believe a marriage should be 50/50. I think we all lied and raised our hands. He said, "You are all wrong. Marriage is not a 50/50 proposition; it's a 100/100 proposition. Anything less is almost certainly doomed to fail." One of the other men said, "Not to be disrespectful, but why should we listen to a priest about what makes a good marriage? You can't be married." He responded, "A doctor doesn't have to have a boil on his butt to know how to lance a boil." He was a trip.

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
