    huh?

    I don't know why it's so flabbergasting that people would want to try to repair a relationship they spent so many resources putting together.

    If you didn't want to stick it out through thick or thin with someone else, whether the problem was internally or externally created, then you should probably skip marriage (and having kids with a partner).
