"I wentcame into this marriage with my eyes open" said the lady to the divorce lawyer. "I came into this marriage with my eyes open" said the lady to the divorce lawyer.

'Went' is not wrong. 'Came' is just more natural. 'Came' is for when you are still there. She is probably still married, if she is using 'this' marriage.

"I have noone to blame but myself".


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

"I have no one to blame but myself". "I have no one to blame but myself".

This is a super common spelling mistake that loads of native English speakers make! Many people believe that 'no one' can be shortened to 'noone' just like 'nobody' and 'nothing' but this is actually wrong. It must be spelt as two words 'no one' or as two words with a hyphen 'no-one' but the latter is less common.
