10. “When my wife told me that we say ‘I love you’ too much.” — Mark A.

11. “I needed serious spine surgery. He was pretty good at taking care of me. Then I got an infection in my spine. Needed another trip to a New York doctor who immediately put me in the hospital. Husband said, ‘Oh, my God. I have to go to work. I just took a week off.’ Blah blah. I said, ’You have worked there for 30 years and your wife now needs emergency surgery. Tonight. I don’t think they’re going to fire you. We lasted a few more years — 32 all together.” — Alyce F. 

12. “None of that drama in our 34-year marriage. We grew apart and both knew it was not what we wanted. He’s a good man, I’m a good woman, but we simply don’t want to be together anymore. I chose to leave the house and property to him as he doesn’t like change. I was 53 years old and just lost an arm in a car accident, so I knew I would have to learn a new lifestyle. No sense in forcing him to do the duty thing because he would have and we would both still be unhappy. He’s fine, I’m fine, and our three children understand this journey.” — Ann A. 

13. “When she got me audited by the IRS because she won money gambling and didn’t tell me.” — David P.

14. “I was blindsided. He showed up, holding the hand of our mutual friend who rented rooms in our house, after I’d been told I was awarded disability income. He said, ‘You’re old, broken and not making money anymore. This isn’t what I signed up for, I want a divorce.’

“I was furious and shattered for about two weeks. Then decided he wasn’t worth my anger and energy and began plotting out my new future. Right now? Life is amazingly good. I have achieved so many of my dreams that I wouldn’t have gone after with him.” — K.E. 

15. “When the counselor asked him to say something nice about me and his response was, ‘You have a nice face.’ That was years after him telling me I should wear my glasses more often because it made my face ‘more interesting.’” — Carolyn A.

16. “When I realized that life is too short and also too long to be so unhappy with a person who was simply unwilling and incapable of change and growth. That it would be better to be alone and talk to myself for the rest of my life than to be with someone who had given up on himself and was just taking advantage of me financially and otherwise.” — Bess J.
