None of that shit has to apply to you. If you want it all, take it all. It's that simple, nobody is the same, it's all up to you. Of course you can be happily married for 40, 50, 60 fucking years if you try hard enough at it. Too many people in this country especially think of divorce as the easy way out. The dude want's to feel some new ass and he thinks his old lady isn't as great anymore, or the chick gets drunk one night and 'accidentally' hooks up with her best friend, who just happens to be a guy...I've seen the same old story 100 times... Our generation doesn't respect the sanctity of what marriage is. Not in a religious way, but a committed way, and they're too easily available.
Make it $50,000 G's to get divorced and watch the divorce rate drop.
