just not suited to each other.


I don't know which is sadder - how people get married without understanding the implications and sanctity of marriage, or how people who got married without understanding the implications and sanctity of marriage decide to destroy it for the tiniest reasons.

You can't "undo" marriage. Marriage is a commitment you made to each other, a vow you took to journey with your partner through thick and thin, a promise to love your partner regardless of the circumstances you find yourselves in.

I'm not talking about people who seek a divorce because they were cheated on or abused by their partner. I'm talking about people who seek a divorce because the toothpaste issue was the last straw, or he's beyond change because he can't put the toilet seat back down, or because she just can't clean up after him or do his dishes for him anymore, or simply because they argue more now than they did when they were dating.

Buruk siku. 

Meminta apa yang sudah diberi.

You gave something away and now want to take it back. 

Few people think of divorce that way. 

But that's exactly what it is.

Buruk siku.
