I am married, but have been so for only four months.
I think Soror AKA Monet raised a GREAT point, the view of divorce in this country is regional. I am from Houston and divorce is not even a option for me. For me, getting divorced is paramount to not passing my upcoming bar exam, I would be mortified and feel like I colossally let myself, my husband, and everyone I know down. Now this just has a lot to do with the way I think and even more with the fact that I HATE to fail, but to me I vowed 'till death do us part, not 'till irreconcilable differences.
Again, I am only four months married, so maybe in 10 years I will feel different, but I have always felt this way (even before marriage) so I pray I don't change. I would only allow myself to get divorced if I was being perpetually cheated on or abused, but even then I might just move out and live asexually (not if he cheated) for the rest of my life. I don't know, but it would take a LOT for me to go back on my word to God, although in this day and age of no fault divorce I suppose if my husband really really wanted out, I could wind up divorced without ever agreeing.
