Brain doing weird and uncomfortable things to me.

[xiphias]

So, I found myself sort of having memories and images float through my mind, and they appeared to be basically pleasant, so I wasn't sure why I was feeling bad about them.

Then I started to pay attention to the memories and identify them. They were all images from various friends' weddings. From marriages that have since broken up.

Weird. And kind of upsetting how many of my friends have been divorced, as in no case was anyone a particularly bad person -- just bad relationships.

Yeah. There's a big difference between two people being nice people and being well-suited to marry each other. Particularly if you also control for "having the skills to maintain a marriage at that point in their lives," which some people just don't.

My marriage ended very badly, and it happened long enough ago that I can finally blame the fact that I should never have married the person in the first place, more than character flaws or mistakes either of us made when we were married.
