haha, yes, this is precisely what I TRIED saying, but you are obviously better at writing than I am. =P Yes I think that people tend to "rush" into marrying and kids because of pressure to do so by society. Society is somewhat more lenient on men though, god forbid a WOMAN does not want to bare a child before the age of thirty, and a woman that NEVER wants to bare children?!!! UNHEARD OF!! As for the taking responsibility thing, I 100% agree with this, not just with marriage and divorce, but everything in life. I am not sure about other countries, but we have completely turned into overly sensitive whiny bitches, and honestly I blame more than just parents for this. This over sensitivity leads to this constant blaming of others, because overly sensitive people do not want to have any guilt over something that was most likely their faults, so instead of doing the correct thing and fess up and apologize, it is easier to just blame others.
