I wish it were bizarre, but I hear this from people I know all the time: "We're really good friends; we just don't want to be married anymore." People have lost all sense of the obligation to society to remain married. When people get divorced, it sets a bad example for young people. (Perhaps I sound like an old fogey, but I'm actually only in my thirties.)

I just like how everyone on this thread is a marriage expert, and has such great knowledge of the Armstrong's relationship.

Nonsense. All people didn't have wonderful relationships before divorce lost its stigma.

Before divorce was common, people simply became estranged and ignored and abused each other. Now they just leave.
