I'm turning 40 next week and I haven't been in a situation like that, but I've been in many kinds of situations.
If you expect human beings to act rationally, to stay true to their vows no matter what, to actually know why they do things, to actually do the things they know are best for them, etc........ I can only say you're in for a hell of a ride.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm lucky for having been through hell on earth a few times in my short (23) life already. Some would say it's turned me into a cynic. On the contrary, I'm optimistic about peoples ability to adapt, and my own. I know that life is hard, and that helps me prepare rather well!

Good luck.
