Found out today that a coworker of mine is getting a divorce. She isn't ready to talk about the details, but it was so shocking to me. They just moved into their dream house less than a year ago and have a 4 year old son. Her husband is out of the house already at her demand-I'm thinking he must of had an affair or something that painful. They've been together 20 years.
Why is this so common?
Wide_awake,
I honestly believe it is because many people today are so focused on themselves and lack character. They see a little bump in the road in their M, they go and spill their guts to another person and they decide to immediately jump into another R with them BEFORE they are even divorced.
The way I see it is if I were having difficulties in my M, I would work on those with my W and go to counseling. Even if I thought deep down it was NOT going to work, I would still put in my best effort with a positive attitude.
I would NOT jump into an R with the hottie at work. I would NOT let another person enter my M by complaining about my W. I WOULD have enough confidence that if my M did not work after several months of trying, there would be other women to date. I would not want to look back and have regrets about not giving 100% to my M.......
As for your co-worker, you may want to gently let her know you are willing to listen to her if she ever needs you. You never know what she is going through. Your small step to reach out to her could be something she really needs whether or not she takes you up on your offer. Just knowing someone is willing to listen means a lot...
