I don't know what age-ranges you and your friends are, but from my perspective, it sounds pretty typical. Out of my circle of friends, I'd guess two are happily married still? Out of maybe 10 couples? We're in our mid-thirties.
All relationships have flaws, presumably because all people have flaws. The trick is being willing and able to overcome them. This usually requires excellent communication so that both parties understand what the issues are. It doesn't sound like this is a feature of either of those relationships. They better get talking, or they'll end up like most of my friends!
