I do agree with you on the statements you made on how unattractive it is to watch the person you lost interest in unravel and become even less attractive.
But it begs the question - If my spouse gains 100 lbs, or is injured and paralyzed, or any other situation you can think of - well it cause me to 'lose interest' in them, but is that a green light to walk away?
So well said, steady. The vows say "For better or for worse," and I might not be very religious, but I'm not a quitter. Walking away from a relationship for whatever reason (short of abuse or violence, of course) is QUITTING. It's not "moving on with your life," "starting over," "creating a clean slate." It's QUITTING. And I find that particularly reprehensible when there are young children involved ... because what's the message that's sent to them?
