I wholeheartedly agree with Cyn here. To me, divorce really is a VERY LAST RESORT. Kids or not, it's about how hard you are willing to work... and only in the most desperate times, when ALL other avenues have been tried, is divorce acceptable (to me). I know a lot of you have been there... so I only speak hypothetically... but I watched my parents, and I know they did not try hard enough
in the right ways. The only good part was that they did not bail on me, thank goodness.
If I were to become a parent (and I'm not saying I'm entirely closed to the idea, but at this point it does not seem feasible for at least 5-10 more years), I want to have the conscious motivation to put as much work into raising the child and loving my spouse as possible, and I want my spouse to have that same desire. I want the work to be 100% from everyone, and equally shared.
Sweetpea, I'm glad my comments were helpful to you.
