It's always easy to blame the other person when a relationship/marriage goes bad. My first wife and I were best friends all through grade school, high school and college. We got married when we were 25, and we divorced at 33.
From my perspective, she went through a serious personality change. She was no longer the funny, bubbly person I enjoyed spending time with. I became the only breadwinner in the family (by mutual consent), and the primary caretaker of our children when I wasn't working. I felt exhausted constantly. Sex was all but nonexistent in the last 15 months of our marriage.
We've been divorced for nine years now, and I still don't understand what happened to her. Other people who know her have commented on it, so I know it's not just me ... but it still makes me sad to see the way she's changed.
