There's a healthy attitude...

I've only read This First Page, but what bothers me more than anything else is where she says, "Eventually I grew bored with Patrick -- we had no interests in common -- and after 15 years of marriage, we divorced amicably." Emphasis mine.

Date: 2006-09-04 04:32 am (UTC)What it boils down to, I guess, is that I think there are much deeper issues in place long before you can even get to the point of 'not loving' someone anymore. What it boils down to is that I think people need to rethink why it is they enter into a relationship, and why a relationship is worth maintaining, and why a relationship is worth fighting for when the world sucks. It boils down to the fact that "getting bored" with your spouse speaks of an attitude about relationships and life in general which is just... empty.
At least, that's as good as I can come up with at 12:30 on a Sunday night.
Ah, but Andrew
