Look around. There are so many couples who are unhappy and still together because they’ve been told so. Sure, it took a lot of effort, but to succumb to a failed marriage is not something to be proud of. You had your own reasons to stay, your kids might have their own to leave. You should be glad this generation is courageous enough to walk out when things don’t work. We’d rather be divorced than live with people we cannot even see eye to eye. What’s wrong with that? It’s better to step out of a failed marriage than to let it turn you bitter every day, for the rest of your life.
Compatibility is not a first world term. It’s real and it goes way beyond common interests in movies and the choice of popcorn. And sometimes, it does take years to realize it. Violence, infidelity and financial troubles aren’t the only ‘red flags’ in a marriage. There’s so much more that can go wrong with two people. No, it doesn’t always mean they’re bad people. Two people can be the nicest human beings with perfect families but still not right for each other. There are reasons you may never be able to see, reasons that shall never make sense to you. But they exist, and they are way more real than your idea of a successful marriage. We really hope you could just wrap your head around that!
