Surely there must have been underlying tensions in that marriage.

(I don't feel at all confident in that statement; I am requesting reassurance.)

They are pretty good friends of mine and I never sensed any tension. It really was a marriage-ending bolt out of the blue, like discovering an affair or severe financial infidelity.
