Then another guy I know is leaving his wife solely because he is just bored now. It doesn't matter that she was with him through all the years helping him to build up his business and also taking care of their kids at the same time.
I just think many people have crappy reasons for getting a divorce these days. The divorce rates have skyrocketed and in most cases, the kids are left to suffer. What say you? |
People nowadays tend to think of "Number One" (themselves) in such a self-indulgent manner that it's a wonder that they even get into relationships with others at all, much less get married. The examples you mention - the woman who's divorcing Mr. I-Forgot-the-Ice-Tray and the I'm-Bored-I'm Leaving You Now guy - are good examples of selfish women and men who ARE, as you say, giving crappy reasons to get a divorce.
