Mine went nuts (literally) after being married for 5 years, it took another 3 to finally get divorced.

I have been married almost 7 years this time and figured out that in the past that the problems were squarely with my ex-wife.

Of course being in my mid 30's vs. early 20's makes a huge difference as well.

I didn't like either one of mine, so i went hunting or fishing EVERY day instead of spending time with them. They got tired of it and decided they would find someone who did want to spend time with them.

Funny thing is as soon as they were gone....I quit hunting and started chasing women.

It was a win-win. Especially for me.

Her dad verbally assaulted me one night something fierce the Spring after I went to Basic/AIT/OSUT for the Guard and had been in approx. 18mos at this time and wanted to know why "I didnt have a job" () and I wasnt going to put up with it.
So we broke up for a while and were "still together"....then I was going to ask her back out and found out from my sister that she was going on a date with some other dude.
Needless to say it pissed me off so I went off on her and the rest is history.

Last time we talked was on the phone and it ended up with me telling her "Ya know what, just fuck you..."  After she told me I was "just there to get her through high school" and that "she never loved me".  I was like, "Theres only a few things you dont say to someone you've dated for 5 years....those would be near the top."

Fuckin psychobitch, but her personality and looks I miss everyday.  Havent found another girl that has everything I want yet.

My first wife was perpetually unhappy. She changed jobs 6 times and we moved to 3 different states to try to make her happy. Finally after 4 years and her 100 pound weight gain, I had enough. I met the current wife in the marriage counselor's office. We've been happily married for 21 years.

Mine became an instant moonbat.  Little did I know that she was bi-polar and had an eating dissorter.  She refused help, said I was the problem and she became very violent, beating my lab with a golf club and sending me to the doctor.  I packed up and left while she was at work.

she was lazy and crazy, but damn fine looking, I'm fat and really really mean and nasty according to her,

but one of the first nails in the coffin according to her occured when we were out partying one night and ran into her older sister, whom I dated before I married (the hot, lazy crazy one),

well the wife thought her sister was too drunk to drive, so we take her to our home, she sleeps in the spare bedroom,

me and the wife in ours, well I wake up, still drunk but horny, turn and see a naked chick whom I assumed to be my wife, I say something to her, she assumes the ass up head down posture, so I mount up and got a good rythme going, when I feel this mosquito start biting my back,

well I'm too busy to be bothered and figure it ain't gonna eat much anyway, turns out it was my naked wife slapping me,

appearently sometime after we passed out her sister came into our room and stripped naked and layed down,

the wife wasn't really that upset that I'd boned her sister since we had dated several years before, she was just mad that I didn't lay the porkchop to her first,

she even said that when she brought it up at one of our divorce hearings, the judge just rolled her eyes,

but mostly we split because of funds, she thought we should spend every cent I made, I thought I should pay the bills first and buy the kids what they needed before we bought what we wanted,

she never could comprehind that kids cost and need a lot, and that bills come around pretty regularly.

I think most marrages fail because couples don't work at it hard enough.

Biggest problem is that  couples don't communicate enough about how they feel about themselves and their spouse.  If you don't communicate you can't identify problems in your relationship so it just sits in the background somewhere waiting to come out.  Small problems are easy to fix but if you don't do anything to fix it it just gets to be bigger problem.  People expect their relationship and feelings to remain same/constant as time goes by while they and their spouse are changing.    

One thing my father taught me (mom and dad has been married for 45 years) since I was old enough to date girls was that if I treat them like a queen they will more likely treat me like a king and if they don't they are not worthy to persue.  Guess what, it was true... I treat my wife a like a queen and she treat me like a king.

I dissagree, mine wanted me to give up all of my guns.  Like with terrorists you can not efffectively communicate with a crazy imbalanced mental head case, you can treat them as nice as you want, but in reality they are still batshit crazy.

I disagree.  I think most marriages fail for specific reasons but most center around: money problems or immaturity.

Well yes, there is only so much you can expect.
If you start off with a nut case don't expect anything good at the end.

Let me put it in a term everybody here will understand...
If you start off with a good strait action and put a good barrel on it it is more likly that you will get a strait shooter than if you start with a warped action and put a rusted and pitted barrel on it.

hell it wouldn't have mattered if I wore it, there isn't a thong made that would contain me, hell I had to stop wearing boxers and go to the tighty whities cause with boxers my gear would always end up hanging down on one leg opening or the other and I'd end up setting on my porkchop and taters, and that was too painfull to go through everytime I wanted to sit.

Don't let it get you down.  EVERYSINGLE woman I've ever dated cheated on me.  Course, I know as much about being faithful while dating as a democrat knows about personal responsibility.  Marriages though, I was faithful till they cheated on me and then it was literally on the way out the door.

So she failed to treat you as she wished to be treated?  It seems to fit fairly well.  No single philosophy will cover every exigency as they simply cannot cover choice:  sometimes someone simply chooses to do irrational things.

Wife had self-esteem problems.

She interpreted EVERY DAMN THING that I did, did not do, or she dreamed up as evidence that I didn't love her.

She thrived on crisis.  If there wasn't a big one, she'd treat a small one as a big one.  If there wasn't a small crisis available, she'd either imagine one or cause one.

My divorce was partly my fault. I was gone a lot, either deployed with the Marines or working for an airline. Neither of us were good communicators. There was a slow leak in the marriage until we didn't really like each other.

Anyway, my ex got religion, took off with our daughter's Sunday School teacher, then became obsessed with doing as much damage to me as possible. She even ruined her second marriage because she just couldn't move on.

She did me a favor in the long run, but damn she went nuclear for years, using the court system and the kids to screw with me.

Took me a long time to trust one of THEM again.

My X went nuts, literally. She was first diagnosed with clinical depression at 42, 2 years later we were divorced. In those 2 years there were 2 suicide attempts and 5, IIRC, visits from local law enforcement for domestic issues. I have 2 kids, now in college, and when they come home they keep it secret so they don’t have to see the bitch. This is their decision. I don’t get involved with their relationship with her.

She was eighteen. I was twenty.

I was a worthless fuck. She started whoring on me almost immediately, although I didn't find out for two years. Two months after we had a little Boy.

Then I put up with it for another two years while we "worked on it" and I moved out and in about three times. I really was pathetic.

I went through hell for my son but gave in after two years. Standing in the kitchen seeing some dude's truck pull up and your wife hopping out does something to you.
