I just accidentally went on Yahoo Answers and found a post from someone who wanted to leave her marriage of 30 years because she "wasn't in love with him anymore," though he didn't do anything bad.
Call me stupid or old-fashioned, but I was always taught that the only times you should divorce someone is if any of the following happen:
*Cheating
*Drug/alcohol problems
*Abuse of any kind (stealing counts as abuse of property)
*Mental illness
*Potentially deadly communicable disease
"I don't love him anymore" is not a good enough reason to leave. When that happens, you have to live with the decision you made. There's professional counseling to help you stop feeling like that. Especially if you have been with that person for the past 30 years.
Boyfriends you can throw out if you're not feeling it. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it's up to both of you to make it work. No, you're never going to agree on some things. Yes, you have to give up stuff. No, you can't get everything you want. But you signed up for it.
