I think "mature and reasonable" is a good dimension to consider in a W who is going down the D path. On one end of that spectrum is "immature and rebellious" and on the other end is "mature and reasonable.

It seems to me that most people will exhibit a mix of both "mature and reasonable" and "immature and rebellious" reactions to a dissatisfying marriage.

The two-year countdown has a veneer of reasonableness to it, but I think it's at its core unreasonable and immature. If she's willing to share a life with you for two years, she should be willing to have conversations about your marriage like two mature adults.
