I understand thy divorce happens. But in many cases--especially one that disolves in the grocery store over chips--it seems more a symptom of a systemic devaluation of honesty and/or a determination to do what you say you are going to do.

There is still stigma around divorce in Ireland so people are less likely to do it. More marriages may last here than in the USA (for now), but I don't think couples are any happier. I left my husband and it was the best decision I've ever made. In my opinion, raising children in a home where there is anger and resentment, rather than love, is worse than separating. I feel defensive because of your post's judgmental tone. My contributions to society- and commitment to loved ones as well as the greater good- are no less than those who choose to stay married come hell or high water.

And yes, it does matter; it matters enormously. I wonder if they were even aware that you were there, or how much the little girl might have understood. It's chilling to think of that relief. It makes me wonder what they did next after they walked away from each other. It feels strange to say that this is a good post when it’s about such unpleasant things, but it is.

That said, my reply to Rachelskirts is also applicable here.

There are some seriously toxic marriages. However, it seems to be evidence of a larger lack of sincerity in our culture. I’m not ardently anti-divorce. There are some seriously toxic marriages.

I remember asking my parents about divorce once, and my mother looked at me and said simply, "Your father and I talked about that before we got married. We agreed that the word 'divorce' was never to be uttered. It's just simply not an option. Ever." That was wildly reassuring, especially when things got a little heated for a few months while I was in junior high or high school. I too am a firm believer in fierce loyalty, firm commitments, and perseverance. So . . . *runs out of steam mid-comment* . . . HIGH-FIVE! AMEN, SISTER FRIEND.

I really hate divorce. I'm with you 100%. Whether one is religious/spiritual or not, I really think marriage <em>is</em> a spiritual experience and not meant to be treated as something to just gratify yourself with. It's not something you consume until you don't like it anymore, then just toss aside. Great post; glad to see you blogging again.

But I'd wager he found it because some other person had asked someone else in exactly that way, so those keywords are there. What I would like to see is the ability to type a description of an item or movie, without knowing specific jargon or names and have the search give you likes to the item you are looking for. Like, you describe a movie you saw once, and instead of liknks to Yahoo answers where someone asked another human what the movie was, it just links you to the imdb page of the movie you're looking for. @seven, That’s interesting.
