No kidding, Matt. I think unless there is alcoholism, or physical or mental abuse, there should be a law that you have to go to counseling for one year before you can even file for divorce.
This was on TL's site but transported it here - didn't want to hijack her site:

Like you, I was very serious about my vows -even said to my H that I saw this as the 'bad' times our vows referred to, and all he could do was say he was far beyond that. Well, when the heck did he ever mention that when he was feeling that way? Geez, we are their SPOUSES, we should be given some respect and be notified of their dissatisfaction. Otherwise, how else are we supposed to address these problems. If you don't know it exists, how are we supposed to know?

I just got done posting on my site and it ain't pretty....
