Sure, don't we all know men (or women!) who after marriage changed their politics, became more ambitious, liked to talk more and suddenly decided to leave behind the beautiful place they've always lived and have put down roots?
Seriously, I'm not picking on men, it's just so sad to hear yet another woman say "I thought I'd change him after we got married". LW: he is who is and it has nothing in common with who you are. Marriage does not make anyone a better person. If you're lonely now, it's only going to get worse and the time he told you you were beautiful is going to become less and less of a consolation.
