I agree, my MIL says she saw it coming, but did nothing. That's because she wanted it to happen. She never liked me. She is loving this! Her quote was "I've been waiting for this day for a long time", when my wife told her she was considering leaving.
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's hard enough when you drag family into the mess unintentionally; it's another when you have a situation like that.

That and what ever happened to "For better or worse"? I don't recall anywhere in the wedding vowes that said leave when it's worse. The problem today is marriage isn't really taken seriously by most people. And top that off the media paints the wrong picture too. I'm sorry I know I'm only 32, but I am old school when it comes to marriage. I always believed divorce wasn't an option in my marriage, and that when you have problems you work the sh*t out!
The irony in my situation is, I was always the one who said that you should get divorced if you really can't work things out, and my wife was the one who said you do what have to do to work it out.
I still stand by my belief, but my feelings about how far you should go before you call it quits have definitely changed.
To be fair, I do believe my wife is working to make things right; she has stuff that she needs to deal with on her own before that can happen, though.
