Fact is, those of us who are separated or divorced like to say that things just “weren’t meant to be”, that we were with a person for as long as we were “supposed to be” with them, and then we moved on rightfully. That’s cool. I can’t argue with anyone’s tale. However, it’s pretty obvious that we leave out one, huge, important truth and that’s this:
Long ago, back when we were still freshly married and still having pretty decent sex and still comfortable confiding our dreams and secrets to our spouse, we fought hard to make things work. We carefully steered our marriage down the lane like you’re supposed to steer it, with patience and open-mindedness and a willingness to listen, listen, listen (and listen some more) without spraying our big dumb opinions around like bug spray.
Then we got lazy.
