55. "I've always left it up to them." In response to In response to 0
First time I saw it, it was with a close homie of mine. I known shit was doomed the second time he called me to pick him up from his apartment to crash over at his grandparents place to cool off after a fight with his wife. They'd only married a few months, and I knew if they weren't going to try to hash things out that early, it wasn't going to last. During that time I encouraged him to find a way to work things out, even though he knew I thought that they got married too quickly. They made it last a year, and then things fell apart while I was away at grad school. Probably because I wasn't there to pick him up anymore.
Second time, I knew from the get go she was royal pain and that marrying her was a bad idea. Still remained supportive. Fell out of touch, and linked up with him again years later, happy to discover that he left her. Turned out the "divorce" was easy, because they had never actually been technically married. She hadn't signed the marriage license (learned after the fact that she'd held it over him for a while), so they didn't need a divorce.
