Back in the early '80's I met my to-be wife and we hit it off almost immediately. We moved in together a short 2 months after our first date, got engaged 3 months later and married 4 months after that. We were having a great time together.

Then 2 months after the marriage was consummated, she told me that she was going to stop taking the pill because it was causing her problems. Boom. Just like that.

And that was the beginning of the end. While we stayed together for another 2 1/2 years before finally separating, we seemed to draw further and further apart as time (post-pill) progressed.

Was it simply that I didn't like wearing a condom or the fact that she was taking the pill during our courtship that governed our mutual attraction? Hmmmm.
