So you get along now while you’re all married and in love and under the same roof, right? But what if it all turned into custard and you split? Find out what kind of divorced couple you and your spouse would make. It’s funny, we promise.
Almost every couple my husband and I used to socialise with has broken up. We can think of only a handful of couples still together. It has gotten to the stage where we are too scared to contact couples we have lost touch with in case they have broken up. It’s just too sad.
We heard of a particularly devastating divorce last week. They were a couple we idealised. Ten years and two children later they are not only divorced, but fighting over everything.
It was while my husband was telling me about how bad things have gotten between our former friends that I blurted out, “I think we’d be really happy divorced people”.
Say what?
“What do you mean,” my husband asked, lower lip trembling. Okay, so his lower lip wasn’t trembling, but he did look a little hurt.
“I don’t mean I want to get divorced, I just mean that we care about each other, we get along so well, we are best friends, we share a similar sense of humour…as divorced couples go, I think we’d rock it!”
He begrudgingly agreed before making me agree that not only was I not thinking of divorce, we are in fact never ever ever getting divorced.
