My advice to anyone heading down the path of divorce!

I have so many friends at the moment who are going through that ugly “D” time, or better known as divorce. One has to wonder if it’s contagious, as there is hardly a happy married couple standing in my group of friends. I’ve even started to wonder about them, but honestly they are regular people with normal type jobs who have obviously chosen very incorrect partners.

It’s times like these that one has to wonder if there isn’t something better that society can come up with which would eliminate at least some of the horrible problems that divorcing couples have to face. An amicable divorce is such a rare event, but it does happen. One should remember though, that this outcome is not quite in the best interests of the divorce lawyers.

Of our divorcing friends, two couples are finding it really tough going. They are hardly talking to each other and the fight is well and truly on as to who gets what. Fortunately there are no children, so when the split is finalized they will more than likely cease all communication. It’s a pity really, that after ten years of marriage they can’t move on and yet stay friends with each other. All this animosity and anger is such a fruitless, wasted emotion.

My advice to anyone heading down the path of divorce is to always try and work it out first before calling in the legal people. The money they are paid is insane, and this money can go a long way towards starting your new life. It can sometimes be the hardest thing you will ever do, particularly if you feel that you are the wounded party, but the rewards will definitely be yours.
