\nWhat\u2019s worse for kids: a bad marriage or divorce? The Eliot Spitzer scandal asks that questions all over again, not that I\u2019m implying that they have a bad marriage. It\u2019s just that, well, Silda\u2019s husband hired a hooker. There\u2019s sort of a big problem. Should she bolt or stay?
\nI always feel uncomfortable commenting on other people\u2019s marriage because I don\u2019t know what intimate exchanges go on between husband and wife. Just as I wouldn\u2019t want anyone to judge mine unfairly. But here\u2019s my two cents on this whole scandal, because, as a blogger, it\u2019s my responsibility to tell you my opinion on everything, right?
\nI\u2019ve always interpreted the vow \u201cuntil death due us part\u201d to include both emotional and spiritual deaths, as well as physical ones. Because women trapped in abusive relationships, for example, can kill themselves on many levels by staying in the marriage. I\u2019ve also read reports that say if children see a husband or wife abuse his or her spouse, they are much more likely to tolerate verbal or physical abuse, or be an abuser, in their own marriages.
\nHowever, I don\u2019t take divorce lightly. I see how I could have maybe skipped five years of therapy (do the math, at $100 bucks a week), maybe eight, had I not been caught in War World III as a kid.<\/p>\n
