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?

Although very plausible when talking about MAGA, it was not our political opinions that raised the issues. I value to travel and have different experiences over house, car, fancy clothes. I am also very concerned about the future and I prefer to be sometimes bored at home and save money than do things that I don't see as important. She has the exactly opposite opinion and we could not compromise. The things got worse when I started to wish to move abroad for a while and she didn't buy also didn't say no.

Don't get me wrong: I have my good share of things to blame, specially by being inflexible with my opinions.
