This idea that "Me taking responsibility for my part here is me leaving." is simply stunning in how upside-down and backwards it is. I'm not sure what the point of marriage is if you show it so little respect. Tax break? Taking unfair advantage of somebody who is more serious about marriage?
Marriage absolutely should be a trap. That is mutual. One enters into this willingly, partly as a demonstration of commitment and partly to help resist one's own urge to be destructive. Willingness to demonstrate a high level of commitment is one factor in obtaining a high-quality spouse. Fewer good-quality spouses will be available if you show signs that you are ready and willing to abandon your spouse.
Remember, you're supposed to stick around even if your spouse is drooling in a wheelchair and smells awful.
