GS hun- i know all too well that marriages are not guaranteed- the reason i know this is after 30+ years my parents(who i never thought would spilt up- did) as well as my oldest sister breaking up with her husband after 7 years. I am concidered the only one in my immediate family to have a great and strong marriage (i have another sister whose marriage has been rocky from the get go but yet they r persisting because my sister wouldnt be able to handle being a statistic- gee gotta hand it to her huh lol) so yeah i know all too well about pain and all that acompanies a marriage break up- i also think sometimes people make bad choices or marry for the wrong reason- but thats a whole nother thread lol, anyway im rambling here- but my point is- don't give up hope- there is someone 'right' for you out there- and maybe just maybe marriage isnt right for you- i dunno, but i think people have to start looking at things differently as divorce is sad and obviously at times can be a traumatic experience(not just for the couple involved- but the kids)
