Do you believe in divorce?


You miss one pertinent fact. People change.

Sometimes they change together. But sometimes, they don't. The person I am now, is not the person I was 5 years ago. Luckily, my girlfriend and I have been together for 8 years without issues. She has changed greatly in the past 4 years. It's luck, love and effort that we're still in the same place logically and emotionally.

But that's not always the case with people. Sometimes, despite a strong bond between you, you both take different paths. Do you still have the same friends you had a year ago? Two? Three? Five?

Do I feel there are too many frivolous divorces? Yes. But do I feel divorce is sometimes the right thing to do in a situation? Yes.

And you can keep your religious beliefs. They're yours, not mine. If I went by yours (judging by the second quoted block there - I could be wrong), my gay friend would not have the possibility of marrying his long-time partner. This is also missing things like common-law marriage, which isn't a sacred anything. Marriage is as much a legal construct as it is a religious one. This is the distinction some miss.
