The number one reason for ALL divorce without exception is sin expressed through selfishness. One party or both destroy the marriage through self-seeking, self-absorbed ways that infringe upon, if not consume, the other. It is the selfish unwillingness to relinquish the ways that destroy the marriage that ultimately destroys the marriage. If you are willing to first be honest about your sinfulness and then repent of it, then your marriage has hope.

True love puts the other’s well-being above your own. When one recognizes that the other’s well-being is compromised by what you is doing, then your responsibility is to stop doing it! The selfish continue to afflict his/her spouse to the dissatisfaction in and ultimately unto the demise of the marriage.

Acknowledge the truth about your sinfulness and repent of it. (And you may have to repent multiple times.) Your marriage should be of more value to you than your pride.
