Pamela Anderson files for divorce

I got angry when I read this piece of junk - the link is there as reference but don't bother clicking it. I was angry because 1. I was being such a sucker for entertainment news headlines, and 2. people like her have truly bastardised the concept of marriage by making it and divorce - its sequel - seem so easy as if they can be picked off the supermarket shelves. Reason for the failed marriage: irreconcilable differences. A.k.a. lazy.

Of course we all have differences to each other - otherwise we'd all just be carbon copies. But what's irreconcilable? Not being able to adjust to each other's hectic schedule? Not being able to tolerate each other's annoying little habits? Not being able to make a compromise on each other's values? And to think that Pam's marriage is only 70 days-old. Irreconcilable as a word shouldn't even exist. Afterall, there's nothing in this world that cannot be solved - even the cold war eventually ended, right?

I won't be surprised if it was a divorce lawyer who first came up with this so-called irreconcilable differences.

Having said that, I do feel that not all marriages should be saved. Provided that you've tried your very best - and that includes talking things over and reflecting over a period much longer than 70 days - I think that sometimes it's just better for your mind and body to just call the lawyer and get it over and done with. But even in that case, you still shouldn't cite irreconcilable difference as the reason for divorce. Try this: failure to stay in love.
