Couples are commemorating shattered vows with the same kind of fanfare accorded their marriage -- complete with announcements, parties and even vacation funds.
  • narcissists...you think?

    my spouse and i are getting a no fault mediated divorce (trying to avoid lawyers until they're absolutely necessary). we care about each other, we respect each other. and for all intents and purposes i wish him the best and hope that he will be happy. but that doesn't mean i don't think he's an ass sometimes. i know for a fact he's thought the same about me.

    there's absolutely no fucking way that divorce is something to be celebrated with the masses. i don't mind talking about it with my family and very close friends. but, writing this letter notwithstanding, this is probably the most private situation i've ever been through. how these people find the strength to cope with each other, not to mention their own grief, and then tell the whole damn world is beyond me. as if that's not bad enough they have the nerve to ask for gifts? they don't need gifts, they need to grow the hell up.
