I Am Leaving !

Boredom is a bad one. Men do the same thing, they seek out something better. My first husband did this, no fighting involved. Twenty-five years later he commented to our son, "I should have stayed with your mother!"

Maybe she was not in love in the first place.

It seems to be a shallow reason to leave a marriage, as you do commit to another, it doesn't go for better or worse, or until I get bored with you...however, you only live once.

Why I never get married, I can see that with some people. I really think a lot of times it just this world we live in, makes us become different people in a bad way, but what do I know. I do think people get married for the wrong reasons and sad to say my friend and his wife who married because they could be financially be better off because how our laws are designed seem to be happiest and they not all that happy but they stick it out. It does suck feeling trapped but why getting married is no joke. I do not care what anyone says the world is just not what it used to be and they pretty much made it every person for themselves. They have done nothing to make this world better even with all their fancy technology life is much harder than even when I was 23.

Too bad

I have to believe she was not really in love to leave so soon.

What was she doing to make the relationship better? The people who do the most complaining about their relationship. Are the same people who put in the least work in making the relationship from becoming boring?

Oh, I am sorry for him. This is not a valid reason for your friend to get separated. Instead of thinking of the separation, she should have thought of making life interesting.

If they don't go out as their bonding it will be boring seeing each other at home. Maybe they can do recreational activities. Go to places -

That is so sad in my opinion. It makes me question if they ever were in love or if it was just convenience. I cannot imagine falling out of true love.

That's so sad of their marriage. Love disappeared . They better had reignited their flame of love.

I don't know what to say really Maybe couples need a shared hobby/interest or separate hobbies/interests so they have something to talk about. It sounds like boredom to me really but I hope she knows what she's doing.

Just as she said boredom or maybe her husband has no interest in her anymore or he might belittle her or even be abusive. Many women do not disclose the true facts.

He probably doesn't want to do any of the same things she does. For a person with a zest for things, This is like being trapped in a closet. After 11 years, this is her time to be free

I think it really does happen. I easily get bored of my life too. Maybe they just need to take a break for a while but don't break up right away

She should tell her husband she wants to do something exciting that is what I do and we have a day of fun.

Nothing in common, they lived together and they were surely bored since day one. At least they have no children, that would have not changed the situation.

She didn't say she didn't love him anymore she is just bored with her life she could have shared that with him so they could come up with ways for her to be less bored.

Her attraction is just in the physical level. If you love someone you come closer to his heart as days pass by. Physical attraction is temporary but love is eternal.

@Kandae11 I guess your friend told you why she was leaving. There is no spice to their marriage anymore. Is there a way they can spice up the romance somehow so she does not have to leave? Would date night help and doing something that they both have wanted to do that is adventuresome they could do together?
