Who has made the best move in the history of marriage?
No, its not Brad and Angelina.....it's Robyn, you know Robyn Gibson? Wife of the Roadwarrior? She filed for divorce and received what could only be described as the ultimate lottery ticket. That has really nothing to do with today's post, I just overheard it in conversation and was shocked to learn that she would ever want to divorce him:
Also, we here at hisbitterness were happy to be the first to get a photo of Mel after seeing Robyn's first settlement demand:
While I did not intend to attack Robyn, I couldn't help but think of the length of the marriage and say, well yeah, they should be done. It's those damn opposable thumbs that caused this mess. I explain: humans are not meant to live as long as we do. Through science, we have really expanded the life expectancy of ourselves to the point where we can no longer stand each other. No wonder people are getting divorced, it's not in our DNA to stay together for longer than a few years.
The first marital laws we have can be traced back to hammurabi's code which was set down around 1760 bc or so. Thus marriage has been around for almost 4,000 years. Now when you do a little research, you will see that during that time period, people lived to be about 30 years old on average. Anyone can do that kind of time with a spouse they can't stand. Hell if I knew the sweet release of death was lurking just around the corner, I wouldn't be so miserable. Now when we are living well into our 70s on average, we are expected to spend all of that time with one person, wholet's just face facts, most of us cannot stand.
One last thought in my life I have had the following:
1. Drivers license;
2. Fishing license;
3. Hunting License;
4. License to Purchase a gun;
5. License to practice my profession in this and other states;
6. Marriage License
All but one of them have an expiration date, why is that?
