I hear you guys. The way they make divorce so acceptable kills me. In Colorado its 90 days, no counseling, no mandatory separation. If you have kids you have like a 2 hour coparenting class you have to take. That's it.
I should have known when I was finding out the info on getting married here. You don't even need anyone to marry you. You two can look at each other, say "we're married" sign the papers and you are done. No judge, no officiant, nothing.
Should have given me an indication on how little Colorado values marriage.
Honestly, I really feel like the only difference between the 50% that get divorced, and the 50% that done (barring the extreme cases like abuse etc..) is commitment.
I even said so to H. He lives in la la land though and seems to think, no the 50% that get divorced could have NEVER felt like him and fallen out of love with their spouses. There is NO recovery from that. And of course he does nothing to read or look up info on that to see just how normal it is. And of course it coming from me means nothing. This divorce is just SO senseless on so many levels.
