I know for a certain fact the same is true with many, but not all, women.
Case in point. Decades ago, a woman I loved deeply, told me on Christmas Day, that she was leaving me. Christmas day for Christ's sake. She then went on to tell me for the very 1st time, all that was making her angry. Had she told me weeks/months/years before, I would certainly have changed for her. But by holding it in and letting it fester, the relationship was doomed. That, Azure, is precisely what I have been trying to say.

Please don't take my comments personally as they are my opinions about the subject.
Do any of us really reveal all to spouse / partner?
Sometime people can feel they are living with a complete stranger.
It is very hard to be married to one person for years.
People grow apart and stay together because of lack of finances or convenience and make the best of it.
I do no think it is healthy to stay with a person where all love has died, whether Gay or not.
Re; you story about Christmas Day
That happened to my to young friend too
He left on Christmas Eve leaving his with two tiny children fatherless, to live with an older women. No presents or Cards for Christmas. Heartbreaking, but her family supported her
He is now alone as he was expected to marry the older women Serves him Right
The way people behave does not surprise me any more.
