..true, sad but true. my parents divorced few years ago, my friends are divorcing about 1/year. whats the matter with us? is life too easy?

Life is not to easy, divorce is the easy thing. An interesting image at this time of year. But a broken home knows no Christmas.

Great concept, computernerd... sad and thought-provoking. Angel Michael, I beg to differ with you, though, respectfully.... Divorce is NOT easy.... We've been through it a few times in our family, it's hell, it's painful, but sometimes it's necessary.

Been there, done that! We were married fifteen years, and now, 15 years after THAT my Ex still has not told me why she left. My second marriage, now Ten years, has not been easy either, but we have a lot of fun, lots of travel, and good times. My supervisor at work says We are More than our Jobs. In the same vein, we are not our marriages, either. An important lesson for me has been to not depend on "the other" for validity. I can be "Me," and I can have My opinion, and I can be good at what I do, without needing my spouse's approval. It certainly helps, but it's not required. Consider our work here on Renderosity...Most of us get no other praise than what we receive from our friends right here, and I am so grateful for that. I wonder if sometimes marriages fail because people don't have personal, outside friends to support them in areas where their spouses cannot....

I think what Angel is trying to say is that when people have a problem with a marriage, instead of trying to solve it, they take the easy way out, divorce... and run away from the problem instead of facing it...
