my opinion:
This wife is suffering from a form of hypergamy syndrome, in which a young, childless bride at the height of her sexual market value (SMV), upon finally finishing securing the husband, wonders if she had made the right decision, or if she had sold herself short. Because a newlywed wife does not get the level of attention that she used to get before the marriage, she no longer "feels" like she wants to stay in the marriage. Now this is something that women throughout the ages have felt, but the difference is back then, a woman who is divorced was considered to be a bad wife, and thus not desirable, and they knew it, and thus they stuck through with it; of course, back then, they quickly became pregnant, thus really having a drop in SMV. The situation now, however, is that men are so hard up that they accept poor wives, and thus childless, divorced wives do not have the stigma that they once had - and these women know it, and so they do not fear being unmarriageable; heck, even wifes with children divorce, but that's more due to the fact that divorced fathers generally don't have a problem with getting with a divorced mother, aside from the general leeriness toward marriage that a divorced man develops.
