re: Divorce is brutal.

Man, I hope that I never have to go through that shite storm. I think if you've been through it, or been close to it, you see the mistakes that were made. Sometimes through no fault of one particular party, but it definitely gives you perspective.

Marriages are a lot of work, even good ones. And sometimes you can feel them going off the rails and you have to try to righten the ship, but it takes both of you.

My dear friend, that I've known my entire life, just had his parents divorce a month before their 47th wedding anniversary.
