Hasn't happened to me yet but I have some fears for the future. I love my wife but her thirteen year old daughter makes me crazy. I thought I could handle it when I got married but reality has been quite a disturbing slap in the face. The girl is a bit of a problem child which really effects her mom and puts a lot of stress on the household. She should be out and in college in five years and I thought that would be a cake-walk but sometimes I'm afraid I won't make it. Basically in five years somebody is leaving the house, me or her. I've made MAJOR lifestyle changes to accomodate her and those combined with her behavior and her mother's reaction to it could someday be too much for this frail old man to handle. No plans for now though, but thats the one reason other than infidelity on my wifes part that I would one day divorce. My wife on the other hand could possibly grow frustrated with my minimal sex drive and consider leaving. I could see sexual compatibility as a valid reason to split up though I love my wife and hope it never comes to that for any reason.
