I think they put everything in the leaving of the spouse who they think it's for them instead of what it really is running away from what ever stich they do not want to face.

Plus I think in the long run expectations on the OP towards the WS is really not that high, seeing that they did get involved with some one in a marriage to begin with.

Thats my take on it.
