Divorce

The thoughts of divorce first came to my mind, not with our first differences of opinions but probably with the last. Probably when I thought, "This is it!" I sometimes think or wish it would be easier for me to merely say that my spouse is a drunkard or has an extra marital affair. And I really wish I could get away citing more commonly accepted excuses. When at the first time I met my advocate in an attempt to understand the intricacies that this chapter of my life could throw before me, I understood that they were simple and in no manner melodramatic as they show in the movies. Towards the end of our serious discussion when my advocate told me that I would have to very clearly state the reasons for my seeking a legal divorce of mutual consent, I was left seeking help. Words refused to flow out. Ah words! Thoughts refuse to take shape...What could be the 'clear reason', I thought to myself. The advocate was still looking at me waiting for an answer. Finally unable to give him any certain answer I asked, "So sir, do you think you could give me some choices?" And there he was looking at me aghast! As he left I could over hear him say, "Is she always like this or has the separation made her this way?" Well, I've left it for people to reason out for themselves what could probably be the cause of my legal separation but when close friends ask, all that I say is, "He is a beautiful individual and so am I. It is a pity that we are indeed not that beautiful when we are a couple..."
