Better that than stumbling the next time one decides to throw a tv, and dropping it on her head. If somebody thinks that the social status quo is unfair now, just imagine that trial.
That's a pretty serious false dilemma. Just because I don't want to engage in conversations likely to upset me doesn't mean I don't love my wife, or that I don't value what we've built together. It does mean we're not best buds like I thought we'd be, and that I don't really communicate with her as much as I used to.
As for divorce-- nah. Part of being a man is making commitments matter. Kids matter, the house matters, the family business matters. I'm not throwing all that away because my wife and I aren't head-over-heels in love in our late 40s.
Maybe when the little guy goes off to college, discussions will be had. Until then. . . I have you guys to shower me in love!
