this forces me to bring up another question. what's with this divorce? how come it has become such a widely acceptable escape. what ever happened to working through the problems..what ever happened to "for better or for worse till death do us part". Now it's more like "i will cherish you until you piss me off or i just get bored with you".
the numbers are a few years old but it gets the idea across
"The total numbers of U.S. divorces (excluding the non-counting states) reported finalized annually are 957,200 in 2000, 944,317 in 1999, and 947,384 in 1998.
The total numbers of U.S. marriages (including those states) reported celebrated annually are 2,355,005 in 2000, 2,366,623 in 1999, and 2,267,854 in 1998. (Americans for Divorce Reform)"
I've heard it numerous times from people around me "it's not like marriage is permanent, if I get sick of her I'll just get divorced"...to me there is something terribly wrong with this state of mind...is it just me?
