It happens here in the U.S. too.
Of course it does. My own sister-in-law just divorced for the second time. The second loser was practically a carbon copy of the first one. It's the same old story where the girl thinks the guy needs her help to become the man she wants him to be.
Sadly, there are children involved this time. Ultimately, they will be the ones to pay for their parents' selfish, immature behavior.
