Ok, my X has been divorced 2x, just like me.
I realized that both I, her first husband, and her BF are basically the same person from a certain aspect.
Her X1 is a very high energy guy - not an athlete, but a very driven guy who has a MBA, had a high level executive position before being downsized and ran a successful business he started after that.
I'm also very high energy - in a different way - by FAR I'm the most intellectual of the 3 of us (also the best educated from the quality of the universities attended).
Her current BF is very high-energy and driven, too, as he trains his butt off to try and win his AG in sprint tris, and he's had a couple of firsts this year.
The thing is, eventually, the newness of the relationship wears off and she has had issues with the person's energy level... and moves on to the next person.
Interesting. I know very little about long term relationship so I don't really have anything more insightful to add.
