"He should get a divorce," she thought suddenly, as if she had admitted the truth to herself for the first time. Not because he hates him, but because it doesn't work like this anymore. In their home, there has long been no conversation and fun and compassion, respect, only obligations. There are no fights, but there is no warmth either. The silence grew louder than any argument.
People often stay together out of fear of loneliness, judgment, and starting over. Sometimes it's a bigger mistake to stay than to leave. Maybe divorce isn't a defeat, maybe it's just the courage to admit that something isn't working anymore. And maybe the greatest love is to let go.
