The Marriage Mulligan
Wouldn't that be nice?? Remember as kids the "do-over"? or even as adults in a friendly game? when you have obviously just f'd it up so badly that your friends look at you and say, "um, wow - that was bad! you want to just back up and take another swing at that?" No harm, no foul. Everyone just carries on like it never happened. Wouldn't it be great if divorce was like that? Especially in my case where both people are unhappy. Neither is 100% right or 100% wrong. There's no culminating event that leads to the divorce - no abuse, no cheating (or at least, in my case, by the time there was cheating, I really didn't care - i was just glad it wasn't my "job" anymore if you know what i mean). How much better would it be if you could both look at each other and say, "mulligan!! We took our best shot but we managed to land it in the mud. We deserve an opportunity to redeem ourselves - a second chance to be happy. No harm, no foul." Shake hands and walk away(good game). Too bad that only happens in a friendly game...
