of break-ups and separations

Just as much as I have been hearing of unions & proposals lately, I have also heard of numerous break-ups and divorces.
Which is disheartening.
Whether or not I know any of the persons involved, I still feel saddened whenever I hear of such separations.

Call me a sucker.
I dunno...was having dinner with TH last night and I found out that two of our sec sch mates have just gotten each of their marriages annulled. One's a guy and the other's a gal.
Both have not gone through the customary rites yet..but legally, they are all married.
And as of this moment in time, legally divorced as well.

I am not one to judge who is right and who is wrong...And I am in no position to do so anyway.
Neither do I wish to know what exactly transpired amongst the couples involved.

I just feel...well, sad that things did not work out for them..
The amount of effort, time, love, money spent....guess things were not meant to be...
And sometimes, short term pain is better than long term suffering...(to borrow a Chinese phrase if I may..)

But for the girl who's husband cheated on her with one of their mutual friends...
I really feel for her...I really do...
To have your trust betrayed..my heart sank...
There ain't no more sanctity in marriage?
Oh, I forgot, I mentioned before, you can call me The Naivete Being.
I still hold on to my naive fairytales and storybook romances...

Sigh..yin and yang? There's to be a balance of everything in this world?
Where there's the rich, there's the poor.
Where there's birth, there's death as well.
And where there are unions, there are break-ups as well.
