I agree that it should be harder to marry than to divorce. There are 'powers' in the State of NY that lobby (and successfully so) to keep D so hard to obtain. I hope that changes. The only people that suffer through a long drawn out divorce are the children. Should a WAW change, you can always remarry if YOU so choose.

I'm sorry that words like 'codependence' and 'emotional abuse' are buzzwords to you. They aren't to those people that have suffered those words. The hope for reconciliation, can, at some point, be a form of denial. Know your path. Also know that I am NOT an advocate of divorce...I DO support DB principles..and I DO support those that choose to stand....even if they choose to do so their entire lifetime and their S's have remarried.
