@amiramnoam - I believe that at around the mid-life crisis period of life, people feel insecurity about career, finances as well as companionship and this makes both partners irritable many times. If the factors like economic or domestic violence are present, the feelings get enhanced many fold.
It is sad to see couples who have spent many years together, through thick and thin, breaking up. In the culture I belong to, there is a lot of emphasis on supporting each other and getting through life together. I hope many couples follow that philosophy.
Thanks for discussing this important topic. Upvoted

Hello - I agree, it is very easy as the saying says to just "throw the towel in"
We forget to support one another first and foremost especially as you rightly say vm2904 when we hit the age milestones and mid life crisis and we start worry a lot about how and what we will do for the remainder of our lives on this planet.
As the world gets busier and the quality of time we spend with our loved one and families gets less and less we start mistaking our loved ones for being the problem and maybe start highlighting faults in one another which in reality is not the problem.
Career & Finances create many upsets and sometimes these worries are so absorbing we are unable to separate this and sadly some end relationships which they regret later.
I'm up voting you because I like your beliefs. I also write a lot about people and the importance of investing time in one another. I like to add Humour which is key in realtionships which after years together we forget.

Being able to Sometimes laugh together at our behaviour is helpful. I would like to add however that I take the issues amiramnoam raises seriously and also for sharing this important and very real worries for too many families and children.
