It was a mutual decision based on what was best for each of our lives moving forward. As we got older we veered off with our interests and thought it was better to be true to ourselves. We still talk. No animosity. Don't think either of us were ever lonely or unhappy with the decision.
There's a "have to" component to marriage for a lot of people. "Wanting to" is what makes it work. What I learned is that I need to live alone. I had an opportunity to move to a sweet setup, my partner followed me about six months after and bought a house about 200 yards away. She wants to live alone too. It's perfect. We're super happy. We're real partners and will be together for the duration. Might not work for everyone but it works for us. Different paths up the mountain. But yeah. "Want to" vs. "Have to." That's what it's about.
