Re: Is it ok to divorce or get one?
I agree that people tend to give up too easily on marriage. However, I do not think it is the business for outsiders to decide if a couple got divorced for the right reasons, etc.---remember that this is their business, most people don't want to share all their dirty laundry, etc., so just because they don't tell you every dirty little detail doesn't mean there weren't years of struggle and pain behind their decision. Finally, just because a divorce is classified legally as 'no fault' doesn't mean there weren't sound reasons behind the decision---a lot of people don't want it on the books for everyone to see that one party was unfaithful, abusive, etc., and here in the US, depending on the state, the standard for proving some of the fault bases legally is very, very difficult, so difficult that here in New York it's not even enough for the cheating spouse to admit it in court! For many couples, choosing a no-fault divorce is the best way to keep a divorce from getting super nasty in court and hurting the children, families, etc., even more, and draining both parties of their assets.
