I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.

Has your partner changed? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?

Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?

And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?

This sounds healthy! If you’re willing to share, I’m curious as to the kids’ (approximate) ages.

They were 7 and 10 when we separated, so late teens now.
