Is divorce inevitable these days

Forty and divorced.  Well, I'm glad it is now common to be divorced in Malaysia as compared to years ago. I don't feel so left-out, in fact I openly say I'm divorced, so what.  Many people usually say that they are sorry to hear that, but I wonder why... it's not that the hubby fled .. it was a mutual agreement to part made by two consenting adults. 

In fact, I believe  if you no longer enjoy the journey together as a couple then you need to be unselfish and part ways so the other can continue the journey, alone or with someone else. It is not easy when a child is involved but I feel children adjust to things and it's how we explain it to them and  guide them as parents even though we may be living separately. It's never easy though.

I have no valid reasons as to why couples divorce so easily these days. But I feel that as we go through the different stages in life we need different things in our partner. We grow as individuals as we get to know ourselves better, and sometimes the person we have become doesn't complement our partner anymore. We just need to part ways to continue our journey in this life.
