Being alone can suck at times, but I think it's better than being stuck with someone that makes you miserable. I'm on my second marriage, 25 years so far, and it's been great. The first marriage was (I thought) great for the first 6-7 years, then it was like everything I did was wrong. I used to dread going home after work, wondering what she was going bitch about and blame me for. I was relieved when she announced she was leaving. Thankfully we didn't have kids.
What happened to her?
She went to visit her sister for a week. Called me 2 weeks later and told me she wasn't coming back, she was staying there with her new boyfriend. She called me 6 months later all weepy and asked if I was 'happy', I just laughed and hung up. We had married young and when she left she told me I was boring.
Dang. Sometimes life sucks.
You were too nice, she wanted you to argue and talk back. Passionate displays enforcing your world view, so she could use her woman powers of offering you some warm holes, and change your mind.
