I just had a thought... one of many, but this one, i think, deserves to be online-published.
Imagine you are married. you got married at age... 21, to a nice man, business guy, had some nice kids, everything is just lovely lovely. suddenly you are 44, and two months after your 23rd wedding anniversary, you catch your not-so-lovely husband cheating on you with his co-worker... the jerk. but not important. what's important is the 23 years of your life spent married to a man, and then the other 2-3 years you dated him beforehand. fast forward a little. it's your 50th birthday, and your kids, who all have nice, reasonable careers and started families of their own decide to put together a humourous slideshow presentation to show at your gathering, liven things up, get some laughs. but 23 years of your life in photos were taken with a man who has hurt you deeply. they dig and dig through photos to find the ones that don't include the cheating [swearword], and they've done the best they can, but one where you look particularly astonishing includes mr. ex. everyone looks around, trying not to look at the happy 50-year old, reading her reaction, and an uncomfortable silence falls over the crowd.
i just think that would be so awkward. if i'm getting divorced, i hope it's before the better part of my life (in pictures) is gone.
