For instance, maybe once you got married, your partner's personality changed in a weird and unexpected way — and things weren't getting better no matter how much you tried to work with them.

Or maybe things weren't great while you were engaged, but you hoped things would change once you got married — unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Finally, perhaps married life wasn't bad at all, but something wasn't sitting well with you like you realized you made a mistake.
