This is an all to common problem any more. With financial and other expectations just out of control. To often the children are subjected to the worst from the parents that split, bitterness and injustice always prevail in these cases. There is no good divorce - every one of them causes pain that never should be. Isn't it time to make sure that in the future years people can learn to have a home of great communication and partnerships. So many distractions and expenses take a toll on all couples.
What can be done if one of the partners will not resolve any debate with communication? The answer is obvious, divorce will take place. Just when people think they got rid of one mess they soon jump into a worse one.
If at all possible I think there should be classes to instruct on the equity and fairness involving work and chores, and also time spent at leisure to ensure that both partners at least have a sense of equality to alleviate bottled up jealousy of each other. Distractions of other people that want to home wreck should be avoided, any person that influences the split of a couple this way is certainly to greedy to become a desired mate. Check that greener grass again, it is fake.
From what I have witnessed, it is hard to even imagine what it takes to keep relationships strong and permanent, but whatever it is I am sure it is much better than parting. I keep wishing that I had never met my ex or ever got married. It's an old maids life for me from now on.
