Resentment can compound over small things, but I've also found from my friends failed marriages that physical attraction is big deal. One or both of the partners let themselves go physically.
Now we can't stop aging, but we shouldn't lie to ourselves that physical attractiveness doesn't matter.
The Halo effect is a real thing.
- rhacker 5y agoWell I think that a lot of people that suddenly divorce and marry younger see the following: Wow this new person is stupid, I miss intelligence. And often - whoa, she's yelling at me for the same things. It wasn't the aging that made her this way, it was me.
- phendrenad2 5y agoThe thing is, it becomes progressively harder to look good as you age. And once you start getting out of shape that adds to the disadvantage. People hit 40 and this combination of factors causes them to just give up.
- retrac 5y ago> One or both of the partners let themselves go physically. Exactly. I don't expect my partner to start unbalding. Or to shake those last few pounds that start haunting us when our metabolisms slow down. But my God, I will leave him if he starts wearing stained sweatpants, or adopts the "well I'm bald on top so that means the rest doesn't need a haircut" idea that some men seem to get.
