"...I wonder why marriages break up so easily! And what's up with couples breaking up that have been married for 15-20 years? What do you all think go wrong in those cases?"
IMHO, they probably stayed together for the children and now figured that a divorce can't do that much damage now since the children are older and the parents want to live for themselves.
I completely agree with going into a marriage knowing that the things that you admired may become the things that you hate about the person. Also, people go into a marriage that unrealistic expectations (i.e., if your mate wasn't a social butterfly before marriage, don't expect him to be one after marriage).
If divorce was more acceptable 50 years ago, would there been more divorces back then?
