THIS. That's how I prefer to do it. I like the canon spouses as characters, too, and they're not abusive jerks, so it'd feel weird to me to write them as such awful people. But yeah, there's a variety of reasons why marriages end, it'd be nice to see more fics acknowledge and explore that.

I also hate the "turn the canon spouse/relationship awful" trope because it's a way to try and make it seem like the author's OTP was only ever able to love each other, and no other love could ever compare, and I don't really like that, either. Many people manage to love more than one person in their life, and each relationship a character has can be beneficial and special to them, or bring out the best in them as a person, just in very different ways. I like seeing how a character's past relationships helped shape who they are, and how that made them into the kind of person the other character I ship them with would fall in love and want to be with.
