alright, here it is
I mentioned before about some heavy thoughts that have been weighing on me and now I guess I'm just gonna spill it. My aunt and uncle, who have been married for 21 years, are getting a divorce. I know a lot of people get divorced, even some of my other relatives have, but this news just really blindesided me because I never thought that they would. The thing is, this actually made me realize that, even though I know better, I have this wierd notion that there is a deadline for divorce, like if you haven't gotten divorced by such-and-such a year, then you're safe. Now, in the end, this is just me being silly because this is so strange and unexpected. I am totally secure in my marriage, I think I'm just "trippin' " because I love my aunt and uncle and it is sad anytime a marriage ends, especially one that has lasted so long.

I'm sorry to hear about your aunt and uncle. That is very tough to deal with, and sad to see happen. Unfortunately, there is no "time frame" that once you are married for X years, you are safe...I have heard of people getting divorced after more years than 21. I know it's scary when it hits that close to home to you, but it says nothing about your own marriage and the course it will take. I think it's a great lesson that, even after 21 years of marriage, you STILL need to work constantly on making your relationship better every day. Thanks for sharing, and I am thinking about you!
I am so sorry about your aunt and Uncle Delci! That is one of the hardest things to have to deal with, especially when you are a newlywed. Some friends of ours got a divorce after 2 years of marriage and I was talking about it with my mom. She said the best thing you could do is erase the word "divorce" from your vocabulary. Its not even an option ever! A friend recently said that she was so upset with her husband that she was considering divorce and I was really surprised because I honestly have never thought of divorce as an option. It surprised me that others would jump so quickly to that. Anyway...thats my thoughts. :) I love ya!
