Artfully encapsulated in so few words. Bravo, Andrea.

Well said, but though bad things happen, there are no mistakes. My salvation? A limited lifespan. I simply won't live long enough to screw up everything possible. PERFECTION? Hah!

Unfortunately, it seems like this is the modern trend, Andrea! In many cases even five months is a long time!! ~ Regards // paul

Ain't that the truth. It happens far too often.

Great write Andrea - Good question - Yes after spending years together, why do people have to be enemies in divorce - They were friends before that, and shared experiences - Their lives just went in different directions. All the best in the contest...Maria xxx
