How to Circumvent Life's Most Stressful Situation

[Glacier]

The radio was saying this morning that divorce is the 2nd most stressful situation in life. Only the death of a spouse trumps that. I turned to my wife with all the logic I could muster, and told her straight up, "well there you have, the only way to avoid the stress of death that will hit us all if we live long enough is to get divorced!"

Somehow, I don't think she was able to follow my impeccable logic that everyone should get divorced to avoid the worse stress of a spouses death.

I have always said that for some LIFERS in marriage the sentence can be worse than committing a murder...
even if you get a life sentence for your crime - keep your nose clean and behave yourself and you can get off early for good behavior.

The only way to get out of marriage is bad behavior. Sounds more like the opposite of prison.

Think you might have missed my twisted humour Glacier...I meant that comment in complete and total jest.

That being said...

Being a complete cantankerous *bleep* or harpy, in the eyes of most judges, would not necessarily be bad behavior.

Some folks might be shackled to a complete asinine or harpy and

that truly would be worse than a Life Sentence.

I remember a lawyer friend once telling me that, "its not against the law to be an *bleep* hole".

I've always thought that was a shame....lol

My wife and I have been threatening to kill each other for years. So far it's been working to keep us together.

I've heard from divorced people who think that divorce is actually more stressful than the death of a spouse would have been. Death is at least final. In divorce, the pain is often on-going and can be nasty.

I can honestly say from experience that this is not true. I divorced my first wife and never felt better. Almost as good as she did.

Not only that, but when children are in the relationship it can be even uglier. When a parent ditches the marriage and children, it's far worse than dying unexpectedly... you see, the parent CHOSE to ditch the kids.
