I can't believe it doesn't have a huge impact on our aliens. Hell I wish I could run away and escape reality too. Money is one of the biggest causes of stress in a M. I've always had to be the grownup in our M and when I got depressed and my H needed me I guess he just couldn't handle it.
Sometimes I feel like he's just desperately trying to find someone, anyone to replace me and run away.
Here's another cheesy analogy for you. It's like our spouses are the Grinch. They still have good/love in them. It's just been so long that the love is buried deep within. But that doesn't mean it isn't still there.
So a long answer to your question. Yes, I think the stresses at home are a MAJOR reason our spouses run away.
