*sigh* So I’m at work, and a co-worker is talking to another co-worker about her marriage. She’s not happy in it. Her husband doesn’t want to do anything, like go out to clubs and stuff. Her friends give her a hard time for his attitude, and are encouraging her to get a divorce. And she’s considering it. Tonight she’s going to tell her husband to pack up and get out.
Now, I haven’t been married, so I can’t begin to pretend that I understand what it’s like…but it just seems so sad. They have a little baby (less then 2 years old). The woman is talking about it so casually. I wonder if she’s tried to talk to her husband seriously (without placing blame or whatever) about her concerns.
Perhaps she has, and perhaps her friends are right…. It saddens me that divorce is the first option on peoples minds when things are rough. Did the marriage vows mean nothing? Was “death do us part” replaced with “I’ll give it a shot”?
Sad day.
