My husband and I were talking to a gal we met, recently. She a Virgo with a Gemini moon and Mars in Sagittarius squaring her Mercury, also in Virgo. She’s exactly as you’d expect. Smart, open and opinionated. She’s in her early 70’s.
She was telling us about her neighbors who were selling their big house. “They’re getting divorced,” she explained.
“Why are the getting divorced?” my husband asked.
“I don’t know,” she said, dramatically. “They’re not getting along. Not getting along? That’s no reason to get a divorce! Nobody gets along!” she, howled. “If everyone I know who does get along, got divorced, no one would be married! I don’t think I know anyone who gets along. But this is what they’re doin’. They’re divorcing and now there is a beautiful home on the market.”
I offer this as a counter to all the material out there, suggesting you divorce for whatever reason.
I think she makes a good point as there is a lot more to life, than getting along.
I know quite a few couples who got divorced because they couldn’t hash things out and just a few years later they get remarried to another person. It’s like they all wanted to be together but they just wouldn’t put in the effort to seeing things through.
My parents were both each other’s 3rd marriage!
Even when my husband drives me nuts- I have never contemplated divorce. I think, somehow we will just get through it.
I guess I should disclaimer that I do not know for sure what any of these couples real issues were. They were all real good couples from what I experienced spending time with them. It is that reason that makes me assume they could have stayed together.
