Yeah, but what drives you to want to meet them may be a number of things, probably lust or the hope for love. But, let's just say that I decide to leave my wife tomorrow. I look at her and think: You know, there may be someone out there who is just like her, only she loves to read great literature like I do, and she isn't so pale. So I leave. Turns out, I may date several more women who have aspects that I found missing in my wife, and have all the aspects my wife had. Then, I start picking out little things about each of them that I want to look for in someone. I would could do this until the day I die. NOBODY is perfect. And anybody who is married (married folks, come vouce for me here) will tell you that NO marriage is ideal. They all take work, and compromise, and understanding, and quite a lot of sacrifice. I think the divorce rate is so high because people try to find a romance like they see in the movies, and when it doesn't work like they thought it would, they think they made a mistake. I, for one, am comfortable in my marriage. It took a lot of work, and I had to eat a lot of humble pie too (which is my most hated food), but I have grown to develop an unbreakable bond with my wife as a result. Sure, she isn't perfect, but she makes me happy.
