That's your opinion. You are entitled to it. I'd be willing to bet that the "simple little affair" you mention is actually anything but. Some people just don't do well together after a point. Just so you know, I happen to be a happily married guy w/ a bunch o' kids, but I do know some guys and gals that live in agony. Perhaps it may be as simple as saying to one's spouse, "..if you don't stop, cease, and desist from all of your bitchin', moanin', and complainin' IMMEDIATELY, I'm outta here..." I say that there always two sides to every story.

I believe you missed my point. Allow me to clarify. There is no such thing as "simple affairs of the heart" when marriage and families are concerned. There are consequences to actions. These "affairs of the heart" often leave peoples lives in complete disarray.

I am not proposing that divorce be eliminated, only that marriage and family be encouraged.

When a spouse wants a divorce because they are unable to get along with the other spouse, do they have to get a girlfriend or boyfriend first?
