Divorce
Lunch
Today I had lunch with a friend.
He told me: “I’m not yet ready for a divorce. A divorce is also a commitment. I’m not ready to commit.”

How did he get married then?
The first thing I did when the time came to move in with my boyfriend was to break up with him. For four hours. Damn those commitments. They always have to come sneaking in through the backdoor when you're worn down. Did I mention that I will get married soon?
Inevitability
In my view, to carry out a divorce, some degree of inevitability is required. I agree that the same goes for carrying out a marriage.

Marriage is the first step towards divorce.

So you are getting married to have me as a lover?

@ Oscar
Yes, I can see that. But if I ever break up with my significant other I want it to be a great showdown. For further reasons, see below.
@ Arnon
Exactly. I thought it would suit you better than just being the ominous second man. Let's keep it nice and proper.

strange thing is,that people are always curious what was before the divorce ? why ?
Further explanation
What I really meant is that it seems easier to love my wife for the rest of my life, day in day out, than to commit not to. Also, of course, I probably wanted to be quoted...

I hope your wife doesn't read this.
Commitment is so bourgeois.
To Nicolas Anserson
Why does the possibility of divorce come to your mind, if your love for your wife isn't questioned?
I think I understand: one can be pushed into marriage, so one waits to be pushed into divorce.
