I think there are a variety of stats out there and it doesn't always give you the full picture. What seems to be clear though is that marriage as an institution is going through a significant change. More so the concept of commitment towards one person.
On a different note - just came back from the lawyers. The separation agreement is done and done. Got it fully executed and it's over with. I do feel a sense of completion and relief. It does put a fine point to the last 2 years and I can now sleep better knowing that all the issues, esp when it comes to the kids, have been sorted out. The D papers are almost ready to go - we can file it online and then the system will take care of it. As I see it, this puts an end to everything.
I don't have any feelings of sadness or regret. I did everything I could and now things have come to their natural conclusion. I can continue to rebuild my life now as I see fit.
