A house full of children suddenly wants a divorce: Is it too unusual?

"Young people with huge egos and no humility easily let go of a warm hand. But those who have held hands through many seasons of changing leaves, guiding each other through thousands of hardships, how can they easily part ways?"

I remember my grandparents used to teach their children that every time their children, just after turning thirty, had quarrels with their spouses, packed up and left home, demanding a divorce.

I remember how happy my grandparents were with their love for nearly a dozen years, sharing a bed and raising several children to adulthood... But who would have thought that the news that they had just agreed to sign the divorce papers would make me think I heard wrong, my heart suddenly tightened, shocked.

So there are breakups that start in old age. When people need more than ever a peaceful home to take refuge and comfort, they choose very different paths for themselves!

There are relationships that last so long that even after many days of hiding in their warm nests, people still give each other gentle and affectionate looks. There are also marriages that go a long way because the baggage they carry is not only LOVE but also JUSTICE.

Love may be just a simple matter between two people, but marriage is not a simple relationship between two hearts. Even though sometimes I realize that the fire in my heart has cooled down with my spouse, I still try to remind myself that I still have responsibilities to my children, I still have obligations to my parents...

So there are hands that want to let go but can’t, there are marriages that want to stop but can’t come true… But can two people walk together without their hearts being empty of love? It’s possible, because responsibilities and obligations keep tying two fates together. And of course, at least two lives have fallen into the abyss of marital tragedy!

Divorce is not always a tragedy! Letting go of a warm hand does not mean sadness and pain!

Happiness in every present moment is a precious gift. But if you can’t mend a cold marriage, let’s break up civilly and gently tell your partner: Thank you for sharing this journey…
