[QUOTE="Miss Texas 1967, post: 214751, member: 36"] I don't think they were actually suited to each other outside of their core attraction. They had so little in common to begin with and neither really wanted to or could be happy changing. Ray tried his hand at business and failed miserably, hating that Donna had basically told him that was going to happen because he was going too fast. Donna tried minimising the capable, independent woman she was and failed because as expected, suppressing who you are for the benefit of someone else makes you resentful. Ray was a "nice guy" but as everyone else has mentioned, he was insecure, and that insecurity did not appreciate Donna's self-confidence. The cheating didn't help, but even if he hadn't cheated they had problems, big ones. I feel like Ray is more to blame for the downfall of the marriage, but their incompatibility to begin with didn't set them up on solid ground anyway, so it was only a matter of time. They should have had a fling and moved on. [/QUOTE]
