Staying together for the kids. I bet that’s something you swore you’d never ever do. It's different when you have them though, isn’t it? I can’t begin to imagine the unhappiness that would result from splitting up my family. Maybe that’s someone’s way of making us think twice about walking away from a marriage. After twenty or so years of life together, the status quo probably deserves some lengthy consideration before changing everything.
You are right. People do change and grow at different rates. However, I think we are often better at just leaving our problems and differences behind, than at trying to work them out. It requires so much less effort just to walk away. I think you (and possibly me) have a conscience that demands you make the effort and not just opt for the easy way out. That’s good, I think. I do hope that we both end up happy though.
