THE DIVORCE MEME

All good things must come to an end one day. Your marriage, your relationship, your friendship. So now it's time to call it quits with whoever it is you're splitting from. It's true what they say, that love is a battlefield...

THE REASON FOR DIVORCE

1. A Fatal Attraction: You've just learned your spouse has been having a relationship with someone else. It could have been once, or could have been for years. They could even have had children with this third person. Either way, there's no way to repair the damage.

2. Always Hurt The One You Love: Your spouse is abusive, towards you and/or your children. You kept telling yourself it would get better, that they would change, but it hasn't. It's only gotten worse. And now you've had enough of it. There's only one way out for you.

3. Every Time You Go Away: Your spouse is going away again. Maybe it's bad and they've landed back in jail, or maybe it's just because their work is taking them away again. But the long separation has taken its toll on the both of you, and it's time to face the truth.

4. Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back: Maybe you're human, and they're yokai. You party and they don't. In any case you have different cultures and values and it becomes more obvious as time goes by. You could handle it before, but this? Is the last straw.

5. Monster-In-Law: You're not really divorcing your spouse. You're really divorcing that one in-law from hell whose only purpose in life has been to destroy whatever happiness you and your spouse may have had. Well, now they've done it. Happy?

6. The Spanish Inquisition: Something unexpected has happened. Perhaps a death in the family, or someone's lost or gained a job. Whatever it is, it's caused one of you to change, big time. And the strain it's put on you both has brought you to a decision.

7. Thanks For All The Fish: You're...just divorcing. It's no one's fault, really. You've both tried to make it work, but for whatever reason - boredom, disinterest - it just isn't. Still, you're parting as the closest of friends, and hey, it just might be better this way.

8. Wild Card: Any of the above, or any other reason of your own choosing.

WHO YOU'RE TELLING

1. Spouse: The other person in the equation. You'd better be ready for what's about to happen - or maybe you're not.

2. Child: You're the product of this marriage, and you might be worried this is your fault. Or maybe you're glad this is happening, so your parents can be happy - or maybe you can be happy.

3. Family Member: Not a spouse of kid, but no less important. You're the family member that everyone goes to when something's happened for advice.

4. Friend: You're always one of the first to know everything, maybe coming back with sage advice over coffee. Even now, this is no different, and you'll be there for them. But maybe you've known all along this would happen...

5. Enemy: Somehow you've found out about it and you've come to rub it in. In fact, you might even be the reason its happening. Or, on the flip side, you're actually upset for the person and are putting aside the past to comfort them, for a moment.

6. Lawyer: Well, you've got to make a living. And you're the one they've come to for advice on how to end things.

7. Wild Card: Any of the above, or any other reason of your own choosing.
