Quote: And it seems like only when we threaten to actually leave does anything get better, and even then, the changes are short-lived.......What is the 13th one going to do that the first 12 didn't???
Mariposa, this is common and all to true.
One twist to the above is a seperation before a spouse reached the point of leaving. Maybe some try for too long and then leave. Maybe some are early quitters.
Talking does not work for some people. Maybe the unhappy spouse does not know how to get the point across or the spouse that is about to leave does not hear the information as it was sent. We all have our filters that distort the message.
Too many people don't miss the water till the well runs dry.
