I need to ask all the readers and poster of GS one question. And your response is very much appreciated.
Once there was a newly married couple. Both the husband and wife went on honeymoon, they began living together. Months passed, they started falling in love. Years passed, they had kids. And there on, lived happily ever after…
Now, after reading story:
Rate your partner (wife, husband, gf, bf, fiancé, etc) from a scale to 1-10. Where 1 being the worst, 10 being the best.
And after you have rated, please answer the following questions in one simple line:
A: What would your response be if your partner asked you for a separation (breakup, divorce, etc)? (Reason: unknown)
B: What do you think is the meaning of ‘your’ life?
I do not know what is the point of this thread. The story and the questions after it do not tie together.
It is like asking someone. I have an apple tree in my garden which has 25 apples on it , how old am I ?
Listen Mirch: If you have something better to say, only then say it. Otherwise you have no right to insult me like this. And I do not appreciate this mindless comment of yours.
I was answering this question.
A: What would your response be if your partner asked you for a separation (breakup, divorce, etc)? (Reason: unknown)
Q: A: What would your response be if your partner asked you for a separation (breakup, divorce, etc)? (Reason: unknown)
A: Did you forget to take your medication today ?
Guys! Come on now..just because the post might not be to your liking of presentation, doesnt mean to make fun of it..it could relate to a personal tragedy!
I think what stolenights is getting at is there was a 'perfect marriage' in which everything appeared to be perfectly fine, and suddenly without any 'reason' (or unknown) one of the partners asked for a divorce. Now YOU are left stranded.

Thank you all. One the reasons I posted this was to share how we as humans think of situations (or even relate to certain things) from different other instances of experience. If all of a sudden we are given a situation to think about, our subconscious instantly does a number of calculations and comes up with either a conclusion or an opinion of that situation. And GS is the best place were one can observe this kind of phenomenon. I have been observing that in almost all the threads in this section. I won't do into details explaining all psychological behaviors but I will explain my thread at the least.
Now, the story I posted was a random story with just a few key words and phases, such as honeymoon, living together, falling in love, kids, lived happily, etc. When a person first reads this story, automatically his or her subconscious registers them. And right after if given such a radical question such as divorce or breakup of a relationship, that person tends to think of it in a relatively less negative way. So, if one person responds to the divorce question by saying "To go hell, I divorce you too!", after reading the story he or she might not have the same response. This is calling priming in psychology. I prime you of something positive and you are in a positive thinking mood. I prime you of something negative you are in a negative mood. And remember, this is a proven scientific fact and not my own theory.
In conclusion: When we deal with husbands, wives, mother in laws, sister in laws, etc, we need to give them a certain benefit of doubt when they something radical. When we are superior in understand a certain situation, then we should put aside our emotions and opinions while trying to resolve that situation in the most unbiased and sincere manner as possible.
