Divorce: Ya gotta laugh (it beats sobbing uncontrollably)

Ah yes, divorce: the gift that keeps on giving. You may be screaming in pain, but at some moment or another, you have to stop and laugh. It is all quite absurd. When you think about it, at one point in time you were absolutely starry eyed of the future with this one person, and now you can't stand their guts. Quite odd, eh? How do we go from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other end? How does what was once so good become so bad? Another one of those great mysteries of life. When it's good; it's good. And when it's bad, well, you don't want to know.
