Because it has become socially acceptable - not only to D, but we are even encouraged by society to keep looking for better and newer things whether it's an iPod, computer, car, house, or spouse. It's still stupid though.

However, the WAS has to figure that out in their own time. Your W looks "awful" because she is miserable and angry and is lashing out at the world because she doesn't know how to fix it. She is reacting to her emotions, not rational thought, and she is not thinking. That sort of thing wears on a person after a while, and it shows.

My FIL told me the other day that both of his siblings were divorced, and both of them regretted their divorce, but it took one of them 5 years to realize it. In both cases, the LBS had moved on and found someone else.

Neither of us can predict the future, not can we read minds. Otherwise we wouldn't be in our respective stitches. You are doing the best you can with what you have. That is what matters. Good intentions really do mean a lot.
