re: Coworker of mine is getting a divorce

Was the wife with jody or was she “just not happy anymore?”

Probably postpartum, paired with a lack of communication and failure to realize it.

I'm not saying my wife and I were close to divorce, but there was definitely some trouble brewing after our second child. I am very grateful that I have a wife that was very receptive to the idea that she was acting out on feelings that were not normally hers and to get on some medicine and speak about her feelings.

I firmly believe the term "7 year itch" isn't really about the length of the marriage, but more about the transition of going from a couple to parents and the stress that change has on both husband and wife. It has ruined many weaker marriages.
