A gentleman walked in to my office today. He was from the business next door, a spritely chap, always chatting about the daily happenings around the airfield. He asked me if there were any jobs available interstate. He casually added ‘divorce is on the cards,’ it was as if he was commenting about the weather.
I know he has two small children and the thought of them growing up in two different households upset me.
My best friends parents separated last week, her partners parents a few months ago, and as I think about it most families are the same.
Is there any point in marriage? Or is it simply something we do because we are expected to do it?
