We are social creatures.

I've been divorced and am now a "cohabiter" (not sure if I like that term). Perhaps I am cynical too, but, how do they know that the married couples weren't, um, lying just a teeny bit? I do think that there are lots of reasons for people to not get divorced... Juliet Hi Warren

My jury is out when it comes to marriage. I’ve been divorced and am now a “cohabiter” (not sure if I like that term).

Perhaps I am cynical too, but, how do they know that the married couples weren’t, um, lying just a teeny bit?

I do think that there are lots of reasons for people to not get divorced…

Juliet
