Patri – let me give you a bit of advice. First, you use the words blame and fault. blame and fault are generally useless words, unless they are in the context between an individual and HKBH. Responsibility and solutions are more useful. Second, I don’t think, speaking from experience, you can speak “generally” about why marriages break down. Each individual and each couple has their own matziv and their own baggage that they bring in to the marriage, and the things that happen during a marriage can have an effect that doesn’t originate with one or the other of them (illness/death of a child/parent; money troubles; interfering friends/family, etc.), so each situation is different. Bottom line is that people have to take responsibility for their own actions, regardless of whether the other party does the same.
