Yes, I have known friends who changed over the years. I am also different now than I was at 18. The thing is, I did not marry one of my friends. I made a vow, a promise. To me, a promise to spend your life with someone is the most important thing one can do in their lifetime. Not the promise to make it work until you change or get tired of it or want something else. Til death us do part comes to mind. Has the world changed so much that those words don't mean sh#t anymore? Why is marriage still around anyway if it does not mean what it says and what people promise. I think people have gotten so use to getting what they want and quitting and starting something else when they get bored, that they think the same applies to marriage. I am not saying that someone should stay with someone who is abusive to them or to children. But if you make a promise to make it work, then do all in your power to make it work. The only person who can know they have done all they can do to make it work is you. But be honest with yourself. Have you done all you can do? or all you are willing to do?
God is love, love is blind, Ray Charles is blind......so there.
