(638) Divorces


Happily ever after?

Why is it that one person can survive a messy divorce and moved on to build a happy second marriage but another person had a no fault divorce yet lived in life long depression?

Could it be that in the entire universe, there is only one perfect mate for each person? If the answer is yes, then the history of the human race is doomed. If the answer is no, then some folks really deluded themselves by barking up the wrong tree: fixated on the wrong person.


Let us look at Case A.
Amy married John. Way before the wedding, her best friend warned her that her to-be groom two timed her : or shall I say the young man had his feet in both boats, some how picked Amy and dumped Amy's competitor all within the same six months.

Fifteen years later, Amy went into deep depression. She struggled for years and clawed her way out of the dark pit. Contemplated divorce for years but at the end she made do with the situation.

What about Case B
Betty wedded Harris. They had about ten years of bliss. Then Harris had an affair which led to a divorce. Harris remarried his mistress almost immediately. Betty made a transatlantic move and picked up the pieces with her three young children. It was a hard adjustment which took years. Happy to say, Betty recovered, she finally remarried her old classmate.

I met Betty's mum recently. Mum said that she dared not object to Betty's first match because Betty was madly in love and he was really eligible. Deep down inside Mum was not happy and had a  nagging suspicion that he was not straight. But she was wise enough to keep quiet about her reservations. However, she trusted Betty's second husband and said he is a good man.

I leave you to draw your conclusions whichever way you choose. After all, there are multiple answers, it is not simple as one correct and the rest are wrong.
