Reasons why I'm getting divorced #86

So, when my future ex and I decided to get divorced, it was a mutual decision (I asked for the divorce, she was thrilled.) Since it was mutual, I asked her to keep this ONE LITTLE THING secret so that people wouldn't judge me too harshly. She agreed. So she only told:

A) My mother and father in-law;

B) My brother and sister in-law;

C) Her boss (?);

D) All of her co-workers, including the guy she's interested in.

Other than that, she's been a great friend in an extremely difficult period of my life.

If I have any advice for future couples, it's this: KEEP SECRETS between the two of you.

7. Well, sort of.

Needless to say, it was something that would paint me in a bad light if it weren't for the fact that she was practically jumping up and down on the sofa with excitement. :D

12. Give it a few more months, and it won't matter.

The fact that you are both happier, will be what gets across.

9. And I thought you were the one person she DIDN'T tell.

I guess I'm still looking for that person.

8. This requires an addition to Robb's Laws...

...which haven't seen an update since 1997.

Robb's Law #3: "Most people are fundamentally untrustworthy."

For the record, #2: "Most people are fundamentally morons", and #1: "Ain't nothing so good, a little bacon don't make it better." :)

Sorry, FF. That's the pits.
