Unrelated to GT0132 above but I think there is too much emphasis by our society on 'happily ever after' and 'until death' - why can't it be acceptable that it ran its course over X duration and it was OK while it worked and that one (or both) have just moved on because it no longer works?

I feel that there is a lot of shock over divorces that have happened over decades, whats wrong with looking at it from the perspective that it was great over 5, 10, 15, 20 years etc?

I think we are better suited to serial monogamy than 'forever' relationships.

If your wedding day is the best day of your life, then it is all down hill from there.

I've been happily married for six years (since 1996).

Talking among my peers, only the single guys are getting any.
