These couples did change. They just didn't do it while married. They were too angry, too hurt, too whatever to work on what needed to be fixed.
I am the fixer in my family and that should scare anyone that I do even tinker here and there with my car. My H is not a fixer. I stepped up and became one because he never did. Now I am stepping back and "letting" him fix the mess he has made with our kids. He has to build up those skills and my stepping in isn't going to do it.
Maybe once he has gotten more comfortable with this fixing stuff he will turn it even further and start working on himself and his issues, because until then, there won't be an us.
