This may not be helpful but for me it helps to recognize that we are all broken people (look at every character in the Bible...besides Jesus!) and we do the best we have with the pieces we've got. On the whole, I don't think people are malicious and trying to be hurtful...they're just messed up. Maybe they plugged into each others needy places (and that's not a sexual reference btw). Who really knows.Again, that's the scary part...you can't control what anyone else will do. I thought my marriage was forever, nothing could ever separate us but I was wrong. She did what she did for her own reasons. I can now only look back and ask what could I have done differently and how do I put my pieces back together.
