Everafter

One of my friends just told me that he and his wife are splitting up. This is very sad. As cynical as I am with regard to relationships and marriage each time I hear someone is splitting up I am devastated. I feel tricked by these married couples. I buy into their happiness and then inevitably they split up. I need them to stay together, to stick it out. I need to believe that there is a happily everafter because someday I hope to find it.
