It seems everyone I know is in a bad relationship, breaking up with someone, or divorcing his/her spouse. While I have never been one who really wants to get married and have kids or do that whole thing, I do idolize those who have the functioning families, the good mothers and fathers and the happily married couples who “make it work.”

According to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri, 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce. That is sad. Many people tell me that I’m “missing out” or “will grow old alone” but I don’t believe that’s the case. I can’t miss it if I never experience it. If I had a wife and kids and suddenly lost them, then I’d be missing them. Until then, I’m just ignorant of it. Growing old alone? Hardly. Read the above statistics. I’ll grow old with my friends.

The point is I would like to build some sort of website where people can talk about this stuff. I don’t want it to be a “person bashing” website, no names will be used, but I’m thinking if people submit their story or facts/things they learned when their relationship failed, that would be a fun site. Depressing, but fun. I’d like there to be a knowledge bank of information on one part of the site and perhaps an administrator-approved forum of some sort as the other.

What are your thoughts or ideas? Post a comment here and let me know. I’d like to develop this into a real website in the next few weeks.
