Strong predictors of good and bad marriage partners do exist, but I'd caution you against making yourself, wife, and children unhappy for thinking the grass will be greener by blowing up your marriage. Divorce courts have seen many a couple who thought they were star crossed lovers bitterly at one another's throats. Human beings all have flaws that become painfully apparent once you move in with them and thr "honeymoon" phase of the relationship is over. If your spouse supports you emotionally, respects you, and is dependable, you have something not so easy to come by. If your kids are grown, maybe you just need some time alone to get away? Talk to her about it.
- taylorius 4y agoThank you for your advice, and I take your point about the divorce courts, but please don't think that we haven't talked. The opposite is very much the case.
- david38 4y agoOften it isn’t because the grass is greener somewhere else. There are cases where the grass looked green, but upon marriage, you discovered it false. Cheating, publicly showing off said cheating (yet hiding it from you), no respect, all manner of things can be uncovered. If the idea of a normal girl sounds like a step up, I wouldn’t sit tight.
