Admit It – You’ve Considered Divorce
It’s not pretty, but sometimes it’s a fun daydream when you’re steamed. Divorce is a very common occurrence and while I might poke fun lightly at my husband from time to time, I’m of the sticking variety. We’ve had our ups and downs, but despite the occasional glaring silence and vague threat when we don’t get our way, we’ve got a good deal going.
Others can’t say the same.
So far, I’ve had two friends get divorced. One was only about 34 and on his second divorce. (His wife was cheating on him big time – I would have left her, too.) The other friend was the kind of divorce that really stings. She got married to a guy she loved. She was perfectly happy until one day he told her that he’d realized he didn’t really love her and wasn’t really very interested in staying married to her. Ouch.
Fortunately she’s since remarried a guy who DOES really love her and she’s expecting her first child. All this and she’s only 27.
I’m not going to say that divorce is wrong, but I do think it’s considered a bit too lightly by many parties. After all, everyone is doing it – it must be okay, right?
That being said, I’ll admit freely I’ve considered it on rare occasions. Usually those occasions are when my adorable husband makes sweeping generalizations such as, “Why can’t you just keep the house cleaner? Women throughout time have managed to raise kids and clean at the same time – why can’t you?”
*teeth gnashing and stony silence*
