WONDER WHY RELATIONSHIPS (MARRIAGES) DON'T LAST

I'm a divorced woman. Now that, it itself, isn't unusual. Lots of people get divorced these days. But have you ever wondered WHY??? I mean, I understand that people divorce for a multitude of reasons.......(fill in the blank _____________). For quite some time, I thought there was something terribly wrong with me. I thought that it was MY fault that my marriage didn't survive.

Why, shortly after I got married, when I realized the marriage was in trouble and my husband constantly told me that it was MY fault, I went to see an Astrologer. She was wonderful. She told me many things that were right-on-the-money. And she flat out said that the marriage would NOT survive. That he was a totally different person that I was (now, at the time, I thought it was our personalities that were different.........hadn't heard about ponerology/psychopaths).

Of course, what was my response to this woman, this Astrologer, telling me that my marriage would not last - why it was to try even harder to make it work ! ! ! And I did, having two children in the attempt. (and I'm an intelligent person)

Little did I realize at the time that there are two absolutely different types of humans on this planet. (Of course, GeoWBush said that with his phrase: "You're either with us, or against us." Who knew you could apply that to relationships/marriages.

There's so much to say and I'm struggling to find the words to continue. So, you'll have to come back to find out what else went on ....... from my perspective, of course.
