I have to ask,  are you married?   have you co-habbed?

The very hardest, most tormenting thing about most of the divorces I have
been close to (my own included) was revoking the vows.  Most of us do not
consisder ourselves failures and therefore when we are not able to honor
prior committments it affects us.  There are also many people who did not
choose to get divorced, but rather their mates decided for them.

Greg, you would better spend your time if you urged those contemplating
marriage to consider it carefully, most divorced people know these lessons
well.
