May - September Romance Ends???

So Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have finally split. Several thinkers and non-thinkers are doling out their version on why the split happened. Is it because of the age difference between the two? Right from the time they got married, people have been anticipating a split. Then why is Michael Douglas having a great relationship with Catherine Zeta Jones? Harrison Ford is living with someone 25 years his junior?

Infidelity has nothing to do with age or physicality for that matter. Prince Charles had no interest in Lady Diana, one of the most beautiful woman in the world. People split up, sometimes legally and sometimes just between themselves because of the severe disconnect they feel with their spouses or because of their desire to legally or just sometimes between themselves get connected with new partners.

Infidelity can't be the reason for Divorce. A strong disconnect is. And many spouses ignore their better-half’s infidelity because they understand it’s inevitable. Posh Beckham, Hillary Clinton, closer home Twinkle Khanna, Maria Goretti, do one need to know more? Man was not born monogamous but has been forced to be. Some succeed most others don’t. Love is completely different and out of this sphere. You can love a person but enjoy physical intimacy with another. This does not stop you from loving the person you love. Love is in the mind. Love leads to intimacy but not necessarily vice versa.

Divorce is nothing but a courageous act by the two parties involved who wish to go their separate ways unlike thousands of others who cannot gather the courage to do so. It causes pain and hardship that soon obliterates with the passage of time. The others who lack courage live with it for the rest of their lives!
