Happy endings do exist, but not all people are lucky enough to have it. Most people think that walking down the aisle in a white dress and taking a vow of forever and ever with prince charming spells a happy ending. What they don't know is it's only the beginning. Most of the time, prince charming is not really quite charming, after all, and forever and ever lasts only a few years, even a few months. And when that happens, you're faced with a reality that surpasses the mystique of happy endings – divorce.
The Big D
In this day and age, the sanctity of marriage has been befouled by the inevitability of divorce. Most couples get married, thinking that they can always get divorced if the marriage doesn't work out. The laws have made it so easy to get a divorce that people are starting to take the real essence of marriage for granted.
What most people don't know, however, is that divorce is not as easy as it seems. It is painful, traumatic, and often unfair. A divorce demands sacrifices – emotionally, financially, and psychologically. Most of all, a divorce ruins families, takes away love, and leaves only bitterness on its wake.
Who Gets What
As if getting a divorce isn't traumatic enough, there's a lot of legality to painstakingly sift through before you can totally part ways. When children are involved, the parents often battle for custody and child support. In fact, divorcing couples battle for custody for pretty much everything, such as the house, the contemporary grandfather clock, the car, and even the dog. Both parties are often trying to one up the other, and hardly anybody ever plays fair.
Indeed, while both parties always seem to want the contemporary grandfather clock or the dog, the idea of an amicable divorce is nothing more than a myth. The funny thing is one or the other doesn't really want the contemporary grandfather clock or the dog. Divorcing couples just like taking swipes at each other. As a result, the emotional and psychological repercussions are great. What they don't know is that those caught in the middle – the lawyers, the dog, the contemporary grandfather clock, and the children especially - are suffering for their stubbornness.
Not Entirely Kissing and Making Up
If you're going to get a divorce, at least, get it done right. You probably really can't work out your differences and you can't save the relationship. However, there's really no point on hurting each other and the rest of your family more than necessary. Talk it over between yourselves and make compromises. You can probably give up the contemporary grandfather clock if you get the dog. You can make schedules on when each of you can have the children.
It's bad enough that you're getting divorced. Don't make it worse by messing things up. At least, by trying to divorce amicably and peacefully, you can still be friends. After all, you're already losing a spouse. Why lose a friend, as well?
