"Honey, in general I love you but you quit golfing when we had kids so I'm leaving you" would likewise be selfish and immature.But let's say this is a couple who bonded over golfing... They met at a golf tournament. Pre-kids they both had a major passion for the sport, went golfing together several times a week. Got engaged on a beautiful trip to <insert fancy schmancy golf course here>. And post-kids the partner who gave up golfing isn't making a big effort to find something else to bond with their spouse over.
I've recently been witness to several empty-nester divorces, not in relation to golfing, but once the kids left home, the couples faced spending the rest of their lives with a person they had grown apart from.
