Dear Playboy Author Boy,
If a man is hesitant about asking for a divorce - does it mean he still loves his wife? Or vice versa?
Still Married So He Must Still Love Me Girl
Dear Still Girl,
No. Divorce is a blow to the ego. Like announcing your public humiliation. The most important relationship in your life, the one you invited everyone to witness becoming formal, for that one person you forsook all others for, is over. Everybody knows you failed. Your finances look like the Titanic post-iceberg. Your kids suffer. People at work talk about you behind your back. Going back to the one you don't love seems easy by comparison.
That's why the numbers go like this:
80% of marriages are sour and unhappy, but people don't have the courage, energy or integrity to start the requisite war to get out.
19% of marriages are in a state of warfare. Either in the last throes of ending or actively engaged in exchanges of hostile fire. Frying pans fly across the airspace of the kitchen.
1% of marriages are happy. 80% of this group are honeymooners who don't know better. Therefore 0.2% of long term marriages are happy. That's 1 in 500.
