Who's next?
Always the ones the ones that you least expect
They seem so strong
It turned out she wanted more all along
And each time I hear who's to part
I examine my heart
See how it stands
Wonder if it's still in safe hands
Who's fled?
Who's fled?
Who's been caught out in somebody's bed?
I should have guessed
That day that his phone wouldn't take your text
He was a charmer
I wish him bad karma
Oh, I know we shouldn't take sides
But that one was his fault
This one is her fault
No one gets off without paying the ride
And oh, the divorces!
And oh, oh, oh,br /> The honeymoon, the wedding ring
Oh, oh oh
The afternoon handovers by the swings
Oh yes, oh yes
Your song seemed to look through a different lens
You're still so young
Loving's just as easy as it's begun
Now there's kids to tend
The legal bills
And custody
And oh, the divorces!
And this one is different
And each one of course is
And always the same
Oh, the divorces!
Who's next?
Who's next?
Odd that you would post this as I too have noticed the divorces of many friends and acquaintances lately.
Sad...
Not all marriages are meant to last. Hell, if I’d shot my when I first wated to, I’d have been out by now. I’m not a cynic on marriage, but I’ve come to believe the definition of a wedding ring is nothing more that a viscious circle......... and yes, it allways gets darkest, just before the lights go totally out.
“Marry in haste, repent in leisure.”
Much of today’s divorce I blame on the lack of childhood socialization between the sexes. In the US, there is generally no place where children can politely interact in a chaperoned environment, without distractions to that interaction. And this has been the case for many years.
Parents assume that their children will interact with other children in school and church, but this isn’t the case. They have other things to do when in school and church.
And any other form of recreation for children, there is undoubtedly someone there who has something for the children to “do”, so that they do not interact with each other. Some people are incredibly pushy about this, to their own, and even other children. If you look behind the mask of a “soccer mom”, you will find a person who doesn’t just drive their children around, but generally drives them to the point of exhaustion.
And as children get older, this frenetic activity gets progressively worse, as well as their personal isolation. Beyond even elementary school, parents take an active role in keeping their children separated, because they *assume* that left together in a group, the children will immediately have sex, do drugs, and commit crimes.
The expectation pounded in to children is that they will have sex like porn stars, with a multitude of people, then somehow choose one they have the best sex with as their mate and have children.
On even momentary reflection, isn’t it *obvious* how wrong this is?
A simple test proves my point. If you ask a child who their “top 10” friends are, they might be able to name 5, and they might even be able to tell you what their friends last names are. But they will know little or nothing about their friends parents, homes, background, etc.
Often, the “South Park rule” applies. Your “friends” are just whoever is there at the school bus stop in the morning. They likely don’t even see these other children in school classes, or at recess, except every now and then.
And every year the lineup changes. And a different group in elementary, junior high school, and high school. In high school all classes have different children, so “friendship” means they sat with them in the same class, once. Never spoke.
And children are expected to find a mate they can be compatible with?
Like how?
Sad, divorced last year after 17 years of marriage. People are lazy (and some like ex- ms moleman) cheat.

Well this is America. So just do what my older brother did and marry a foreign lady.
It’s not just a matter of talking things through, listening, and remembering what things used to be like when one member of the marriage starts screwing around. Sometimes things happen that just can’t be fixed. I suppose that since human nature doesn’t change, we have always had these situations, but now divorce is easier than it was decades ago, and there is no public excoriation of people who are unfaithful so it is not discouraged.
My only regret was not divorcing the two-timing b#*ch sooner.
