I agree that if you commit to a relationship, especially marriage, you obviously need to work with your partner and try to respect each other as individuals but understand compromise is also necessary to stay on the path through life together.

Sadly, people do change and priorities shift sometimes, no matter how hard you work at it. If your goals in life become different than your partners, it is probably good that society doesn't kick you in the teeth for moving on, like they use to 40 or 50 years ago.

This in no way excuses the growing number of 6 month and out marriages. The gentleman who was pushing the "Defense of Marriage" bill in my state demonizing gay relationships was on his fourth marriage. Great.
