I watched Marriage Story on Netflix the other night. It's been on my watch list for a while but since watching a whole movie takes so much longer than, say, watching five 30-minute episodes of any random show.... I haven't gotten around to it.
Until now.
It was good. Sad. As I expected it to be. That's another reason I have been putting off watching it. You're not always in the mood to be sad.
I'm not getting a divorce. (that is what the movie is about, fyi)
Dylan and I had a coworker once who said "Divorce sucks. Never get a divorce. Just don't."
She had done it twice. So either the second one sucked way more, or she didn't follow her own advice. I don't know.
Facebook just told me we have 220 mutual friends, my husband and I. That and so much more. You can't just divorce a person, you have to divorce a whole family, a whole life. 220 mutual friends.
I'm not getting a divorce. I think everyone who has ever been married for more than 10 minutes has contemplated divorce. Doesn't mean you want one. But whenever there is a door marked EXIT, you're bound to be curious of what is on the other side. And sometimes think that whatever it is, it has to better. But I don't. Think it has to better, that is.
Marriage Story was beautiful and sad. And in the end it made me feel better.
