A bit of truth in that, although I think it is more that courting couples are more inclined to ignore or tolerate the annoying parts of their partner's behaviour, and become less tolerant once the rose tinted veil of new love falls away. The quote I have in mind is from Richard Bach (author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull) If you love somebody, set them free. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were Although I am the one physically leaving, I am setting my wife free. A couple of good sources of help for faltering relationships: A book, "Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions and Hurtful Acts ", Travis and Aronson. Actually I would say a "must read" for everybody! I cannot recommend it strongly enough, it has changed my behaviour and how I view the world. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1780662653/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_H8hkDbQ33YAKP Also, any stuff by Alain de Botton, but particularly his lecture at the Sydney Opera House "On Love" - available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-iUHlVazKk Sorry, I really will shut up now!
