When you guys were on the road to divorce, was there a single decision you made that started you on that road?
Imho, when my wife and I fight, she suggests really dumb things that make me mad and I want to take on a "Ok, I'll show you!" attitude. For example, she suggested that we close our joint account at the bank and from then on keep separate finances.
However, every time this has happened (maybe 2-3 times in my 5 year marriage so far?) I've taken both the dumb suggestion and the defensive reaction as a warning sign, took a step back, and said, "Waitaminute, let's see what's _really_ going on here. We don't want to do something that would really damage our relationship. Let's try to find another way."
I'm wondering if, in hindsight, this would have been useful for other people as well.
