Well, some of that sounds like typical depression and ordinary marriage-with-kids adjustments.

But sometimes, too, when they tell us they're not good enough for us - they're right!

Have you ever suspected that maybe he could have been leading a double life before all this recent stuff? (I do look back at my ex now and wonder if maybe he was unfaithful to me earlier in our marriage when I never suspected - no solid suspicions, but a few oddball things that would make sense now in that context).

Or - it is possible that he just felt trapped, and once he figured out changing his job didn't relieve that feeling, he decided to change his marital status.

I'll be interested to see what you think once you read the book.
