[Deb8]

This is a question I've pondered for quite a while. I'm a 48 year old male and believed that marriage was forever as a sacred vow before God. I was married for 17 years with 2 kids (one is serving in the Marines in Cuba). I never cheated (possibly because of a strong Catholic guilt upbringing). My wife started having affairs and I eventually caught her with a married man and divorced her within 6 months. The divorce had devastating effects on the children. She has admitted that the breakup of our family was totally her fault. But it doesn't explain the question of "why." I'm convinced that modern marriage vows are essentially "I take you to be my lawfully wedded spouse...until I grow bored and find something I like better." Perhaps that's why so many of the women I dated in the interim before my current and last marriage (going on 7 years) described me as "old-fashioned."

But it doesn't explain the question of "why."

Once you figure out that answer, write a book. You'll be a millionaire.
