Our friend from out of town came to visit today.  He recently separated from his wife, so it's kind of weird for me to not see her, too.  I was talking to another friend of mine (/wave DB) about how sad this was for me, and he pointed out that the relationship was probably over way before then.  It still sucks.  And it makes me lose even more faith in the idea that permanent relationships work.  Mine is still strong (as far as I know), but I want a fucking guarantee that it can last.  I know of 3 different marriages of people close to me that are ending now.  Two of those were 20+ years, and the 3rd was 8.  Shouldn't the 10 year mark offer some kind of assurance?
