Shocker

Last week, I found out that this couple we used to know and hanged out with are separated. My husband and I were quite surprised. If someone had offered us big money to guess which couple are likely to divorce in our religious community, they wouldn’t be on my list. Although we’re not as religious now like we were, we still keep track of some people we like.

I tend to try to guess what went wrong. We all know how futile this is, especially if I haven’t been around the couple in months. Still, I wonder why they got separated. Is it because he didn’t help with the dishes, or cooking or cleaning the house? Was another person involve?

I just don’t know. I feel bad. I know that there are moments when I just get so mad about something, but not mad enough to separate or anything similar. It would have to be really horrible to separate. Like my brother divorced, but he had no choice. Still, if it’s only separated, it might still get fixed, right? It doesn’t hurt to be optimistic.
