At first they were in love, but soon he preferred those sexy curves of his cute blonde employer The divorce rate’s soaring I recently heard - see forlorn people stand in the court foyer. Love is actually a four-letter word, the real winner of it all is their lawyer! I think it’s so sad when a romance is dead… He shouldn’t have slept in another girl’s bed!

This is a sad truth in today's age my friend! I'm so glad that I have love that will not end with my wife! That seems to be a rare thing anymore! And yes, the lawyers are the only winners here, and that is a sad truth! I really enjoyed reading your fantastic poem here Jan! What a tremendous piece, Great Work!!

Thanks Russell its so easy to give up at the first hurdle, people need to work at a relationship and its not all plain sailing -I've been married for 26 years and we have a bond that will never be broken:-) hugs jan xx

The sanctity of marriage has been lost Jan. It is a now generation. If something isn't working to your liking discard it and get a new one.

It is a throw away society we live in Tim and sadly that applies to marriage too:-( hugs jan x
