    The thing about divorce is, there isn’t always one mistake. One nuclearbomb dropped on a couple that destroys their marriage. Sometimes, it creepsup on you slowly. And one day, realization hits and all you know is that youdon’t want to be married anymore. Maybe a nuclear bomb would have beenbetter than slowly burning to death. Maybe that wouldn’t make you feel likesuch a failure. It kills you to give up, but you know it’s the right decision.Because if you keep going, you’ll hate each other.
