Another week another murder!
It ended well (AGAIN!)... curious that I interesting story on marriage. I have a buddy in America living with his girlfriend but has ruled out marriage for now. He has many reasons (I suspect ladies would say excuses!!!lol)
Anyway he is not the topic of discussion!
Latest figures show that divorce rates here in the UK have fallen - good news because personally I believe it is something worth fighting for. The statistics continue to reveal that couples in there 20s are the most likely to divorce.
All this is disturbing for some of us who are aspiring to enter the exclusive club. Interesting that I got the article after explaining to this lady why am still single. (I can't remember the reason I gave!) I was raised to believe a man should be the bread winner - currently I'm bringing home crumbs.
It reminds me of a discussion I found on the Harvest Show when they were reviewing a book "When the Man in Your Life Can't Commit"
Nobody in there right minds enters into marriage with the plan to divorce (okay maybe gold diggers!) Maybe it's just the fear of failing - divorce is so easy nowadays I understand.
"It's vital that people are able to leave unhappy marriages, but the fact is that many over-estimate the benefits of divorce and under-estimate the costs - both financial and emotional."
On the subject of marriage, the sage of Omaha got hitched. Warren Buffet on his 76th birthday got married to his long time companion of 29 years - sweet. 29 years we definitely should be learning something.
I wonder if I am commitment phobic?
