I've been coming up with questions recently, and I was thinking what I would say to the question "would you accept a divorce?" And the answer was something like "if it made her happier, then yes; but I would put forward my greatest effort to avoid it." Then I wondered what my greatest effort would be, and I came up with something like "let her go back to her parents while we cooled off" and then I thought "well, why couldn't I go back and live with her parents at the same time, or both of us go to my parents. It would be like live-in divorce counselling." That would not be cheap to get elsewhere. Parents are cool to have like that.

My parents' 30th anniversary is coming up soon.
