I just wanted to throw in my two cents here because every since BD I have been hyper-aware of marriage and divorce in the media and my community. It seems to me that our culture is almost pushing divorce and making it a trendy thing to do. I get sick at hearing all the articles about how it is such a square thing to stay with the same person your whole life and look how much you are missing out on things etc....I mentioned this to my W and she flipped out...she always wants this to be about her and make her special.... sorry did not mean to hijack your thread but I just thought I would throw that out there...if you can stomach the latest article about it is in GQ....but it is every where. Also how kids from divorced families are fine after a year....
