I think most of the people who divorce in the aviation world a) either just do not think it is worth it b) did not really love each other. |

I do not think that it is a naive statement, but I do think additional information needs to be addressed. Most divorces today are the result of how our dating system is set up today. I'm not saying that arranged marriages are the answer; I am saying that you should only date someone if you can see yourself marrying them. Otherwise it is a waste of time. If you just date someone until you get (tired/sick of them) / don't like them anymore, this will set you up for failure.

Seriously, imagine still being best friends with your best friend from elementary school, or even high school. Relationships just don't seem to work like that to me. We constantly grow and change as people. Get rid of the rediculous stigma attached to divorce, and there's no reason to stay in an unhappy relationship. As a kid that lived through people that "stayed togethor for the kids." I implore you not to stay togethor for the kids. |
So how many wives are you going to have then? I tell you this, EVERYBODY has hard times. If you leave when times are hard, the process will repeat over and over again. YOU will be unhappy.
