The whole idea of "relationships" needs a retooling. The simple, sad fact is that we are led around by our noses by people who capitalize off of our emotions. It is interesting to note the ties between the gradual destruction of our natural environment for money's sake while we wallow in emotional quagmire trying to "find the one" and "make our marriages work." It is in the capitalizing vampires' interest that we reduce our intellectual and emotional potential to going to school, entering a series of emotional-rollercoaster-like relationships only to finally settle on one that is devoid of life or happiness, get married, have children, and die. The world is literally crumbling while we remain blind and distracted by meaningless and parasitic "relationships." It's time for people to either wake up or be swept away, undone by their own myopia. Yes, very fascinating subject. The whole idea of “relationships” needs a retooling.

And, as has been pointed out, the fact that it's more acceptable to stay in a marriage than get divorced. I hope your friend finds a solution that's best for her in the long-run, so she's not angry at hubby all the time! Great post!

So one has to wonder... I'm reminded of the mantra of hairdressers and manicurists and real estate agents: repeat business and referral.

What a tough thing to deal with. It is the ultimate betrayal. I'm not surprised to see a whole industry supporting the revitalization of marriage. With half of marriages ending in divorce it is a large market that is highly motivated. From an entrepreneurial point of view keeping a marriage together is good business. This goes beyond any moral or emotional reasons. One of the top indicators of success is a stable marriage. Lela-Wow, good post. What a tough thing to deal with. It is the ultimate betrayal.
