Some Marriages Just Don't Work Out

As much as we would like to believe in happy endings, as much as we would like to remember how we used to feel love for someone, there are just marriages that don't work out no matter how hard people try. Thus, divorce or annulment was invented. I know there are people who think of divorce or annulment as an easy way out of an unfortunate situation. I'm sure though that nobody would want to have to go through with that if they can just help it. It's never easy. It's like washing your dirty linen in public. You will have to shout out your love story for everyone to know and for them to analyze. And then your fate would be in the judge's hands if they think you have reason enough to be granted your plea.

I used to not regret why I got married. But now, regret often crosses my mind. If I didn't get married things would have been easier. I would have been free to be with the person that I loved the most. But with a failed marriage and an annulment not yet granted, it's like I bear the scarlet letter. People judge me. I know I couldn't explain to everyone why my marriage failed but if I only can then I would. Then they would understand why it has to end.
