The Recession Is Even Affecting Divorces

I watched abcnews.com titled "Divorced and Living Under One Roof". It was both interesting and surprising.The economy is so bad, that you can't even afford to move on after the divorce because it is too expensive. The first couple were trying to sell their home and couldn't so they live together to save money and to balance the mortgage. These couples featured and others not have more courage than most, to divorce, there had to be a reason why they felt it best to not be married anymore and now to be stuck together just seems like a constant walk on eggshells.

Forget meeting anyone new, or having friends over because your still stuck to your past literally in the form of a mate and a mortgage. I guess the lesson for me is: make sure your marriage is strong enough before you buy a house, or buy a really cheap house. I was so involved in my joblessness, that I didn't realize there are people, couples that are wanting to scream just a loudly as me. I hope I get a job soon, and I hope these couples get their homes sold.
