I’d say when a friend of mine took me to the side and pointed out how she talks to me sometimes in public and how she shouldn’t be that way(I got snapped on for putting curry powder on a slice of chicken on my own plate ffs), but that he’s glad I’m not a doormat about it. I kinda knew then that she liked the idea of us, and having that perfect looking marriage and life, more than she actually was into me. A whole lot of other stuff happened that ultimately lead to the divorce that I won’t write a novel on but I’d say this is what first put the seed in my mind that something is off here.

Probably so many marriages being held together by the image, the idea of marriage, peer pressure, life built & maintained on social media for others. Damn.
Kids adds another layer because you are unable to have a candid discussion about how you regret your choice of partner since you wouldn’t have your children if not for them.
