Do they care about marriage at all?

[aetherna]

I watch infotainment programs at TV too. No, I'm not such a big fan of gossips, but I'd rather watch them than watching strange and completely non-sense short movies or something like that. *grumbles*

Anyway, back on topic.

Infotainment really loves the romances of celebrities. They display everything, from gossips, to those going out together, to the marriage, to their cheating, and when they get a divorce, as well as when they find someone else to love and marry. *rolls eyes* The circle is endless, vicious, sometimes up to the point that it feels... (sorry to say this but I just have to) disgusting.

I have this one celebrity. She divorced her former husband and turned out she cheated him. She cheated him with someone younger than him. TEN YEARS YOUNGER. They got married shortly after, then I never saw her on TV anymore. Today, when I saw them again, they would get a divorce. Reason? "We are better as siblings -- a brother and sister -- than as husband and wife." My reaction? ... Should I write it here? It pissed me off. The infotainment interviewed her former husband. His reaction? To sum it up he felt that it was strange for the woman to give up their marriage to run with that boy and now getting divorced for such a silly reason. You can clearly see how the divorce hurt this ex-husband, even more after hearing the news.

And several other cases related to marriage, divorce, another marriage, another divorce, and so on. A nasty cycle.

I just don't understand. How could they take the decision so fast, then regret it, stop the relationship abruptly, then start a new one only to fail again? What do they think of marriage? It feels as if they think of it as a game. Marriage is serious business. At least for me. Maybe related to religion as well, but still... Do you not want to be married to someone who will stay with you until the very end? How could you know that after only a short period of knowing each other? Marriage is not simple at all yet these people...

Probably I should stop watching infotainment and ignore all of those weird people.

I honestly think all celebrity marriages are a type of act or performance, so I don't let them get to me anymore. :/ But... that one? I was like... WTF? We are better as siblings? That just sounds crazy.

I see marriage as a very serious thing. I think if someone gets married and are having troubles, they should try to work on it, not just get a divorce and then marry the next random person. Lol~ Ah, there are some silly people in the world sometimes. :P

Well, yeah, probably. Some celebrities do have it 'normally', peacefully, even sometimes when they have different religion. Now this is just way too strange.

I take it seriously too, in addition that in my religion it is considered serious, once for a life time. XD

[kyoki]

Ahaha, it totally is.

I don't really have a religion, though I grew up around a very religious family (well, at least on my dads side)and my grandparents and aunt see it very seriously. Though my dad and uncle have both been divorced. :/ Though my mom told me that they did try to work on it.

As much as I hate divorces, I do understand that sometimes one should get out of the marriage. Like if there is a abuse and stuff like that. That isn't very good to live with that. :(

[aetherna]

Sure, if that is the case. At times you may really need to separate yourselves and start a new, sad indeed. That is why I think people need to be careful with marriage... A lot of effort worked in when you decided to marry and afterwards too, so it shouldn't be taken lightly.

Well I don't know if they are lying or not, if there is a more serious reason behind it, but still to say that they got divorced because of such trivial matter to the public is not a very satisfying action. :(

[kyoki]

Yep, yep. Ah, I wish people would just... think about marriage before going through with it. Perhaps someday people will take it seriously again. Teehee, like the Adelie penguins, once they pick a mate they generally stick with that one until one of them dies. :)

Yea, totally. Maybe it was just some attempt at a publicity stunt. :P Or whatever those are called. >.

[aetherna]

Ah, really? That is very sweet of the penguins~ I think it would be lovely if they can stick together and talk the problems through. Isn't that what we should do anyway. ^^

[kyoki]

I think it would be lovely as well. :D Perhaps someday it will be like that. :3
