Where it went wrong

I’m sick and tired of it! Over the past two years, five couples I know have got a divorce, four of which were very good  friends of mine. On Thursday, a friend  called me saying he was at his lawyer’s office and was getting divorced after 10 years of marriage.  My day suddenly went down hill. Tears formed in the corners of  my eyes and I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach. I felt like a child who was just told that her parents were getting a divorce.

Unlike one of the couples whom I don’t think should have been married in the first place, this union seemed secure.  I say that couple shouldn’t have been married because the guy cheated on her before, but she was enarmored with the idea of being married because all her friends were and they were together for quite a while.  If the relationship is in trouble, when he proposes you can say no, you don’t have to say yes!  Marriage doesn’t change the person, just the woman’s last name.

This one knocked me clear out of the water.  I never saw it coming.  I’m closer to the guy in this instance and I always thought his wife was such a lucky woman.  He always spoke glowingly of her and even on Monday when I saw him, it was just like old times.  I had no idea that anything was wrong.  He says they are both  OK as it was very amicable but I’ve had it!

To all my friends, listen up. Here are the  greviances  I have with you all

(1) I will have to adjust to a new partner when you bring them around after the divorce.

(2) I went to these beautiful weddings and heard you say how in love and happy you were  and now its all gone.

(3) I invested so much time into this in having a happy couple in my life and now its all gone. I hurt too!

(4) Why after 10 years couldn’t you all work it out? Come on, if you survived 10 years without killing each other, you can go 10 more.

(5) Leave marriage alone.  If you’re going to invite me to a beautiful ceremony, make sure it works. Or don’t go wasting my time.  I’m becoming disillusioned about love and marriage when you all  are getting a divorce!
