Marriage can be hard. It takes work and commitment.
But sometimes, that’s not enough.
It can be important to try to make things work, especially when you love someone.
But life is short.
Sometimes, it’s best to recognize when it’s time to get out of dodge.

I don’t have kids, but I actually thought everyone loved their kids more than anyone else alive.
