The demand of the loveless and the self-imprisoned that they should be allowed to blackmail the universe: that till they consent to be happy (on their own terms) no one else shall taste joy: that theirs should be the final power; that Hell should be able to veto Heaven.
The Great Divorce. C.S. Lewis
I think marital strife is very pervasive...much more so than we know. Just found out that a couple that we've known for years and have two grown children have separated. Between this kind of stuff and those horrible people on "Real Housewives", Sybil has started the process of normalizing divorce. Don't know, if she'll ever "pull the trigger". Time will tell.

You remind me of what Socrates said -
"By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you will be happy. If you get a bad one, you will be a philosopher."
And Socrates, as we know, was a philosopher.
So, you know, you're at least in good company. . .
