Marriage and Divorce

bananasI heard a commercial on the radio, the other day, that really disgusted me.  It basically said that if you are a married man, struggling in your career, it is better to divorce your wife now rather than waiting until you’re successful.  Because when you are successful, you will have so much more to lose.  What a piece of shit!  I know the economy is rough, but is it really necessary to encourage divorce,  just to drum up business?

 All that P.O.S. Is thinking about is his $5000, not the damage and life changing event he is promoting.   And if kids are involved, you think the P.O.S. cares?  Of course he does, can you say custody battle?  CHA-CHING!!!
Marriage is hard enough, as it is.  We don’t need these pointy-tailed, pitchfork totin’ anti-cheerleader types, on the sidelines, putting ‘easy outs’ in our face.  There is no ‘easy out’!  You either put your nose to the grindstone and do the work to make a marriage work or you divorce, and spend the rest of your life working to repair the damage done.  You also pass on that legacy to your kids, and they get to spend their lives working to repair that same damage.  I’m not saying that divorce is never the answer.  I know that sometimes, a marriage can be too far gone to save, and divorce is inevitable.  What I am saying is that today, in our society, divorce is much more common and too frequently looked at as an easy way out.

On a positive note, at Talking Monkey’s Wedding Ring Rental, business is good.

    If this commercial is enough to push you over the edge on your decision to get a divorce, your marriage is probably in trouble anyway.

    I agree these types of “ambulance chasing” lawyers are disgusting.

  2. Brian Mingus says:

    While his character is certainly in question by trying to encourage divorce, he is absolutely correct in what he says. If divorce is inevitable, doing it during bad times makes perfect sense.

    Take it from someone who realizes the bullshit that we call our ‘justice system’.

    Good points Mingo. I was wondering what your take on this would be.
