I believe that the dissolution of a marriage comes about by the breaking down of self-esteem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating.
When people divorce, it's always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse.
Many people from many different walks of life have marriages that break up, and those are deeply personal, deeply painful but ultimately private matters.
A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you.
To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone.
We've all been affected by divorce in one way or another, whether we've experienced it personally, or witnessed family or friends go through it.
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
Marriage, like money, is still with us; and, like money, progressively devalued.
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.
