Irreconcilable Differences
"Essentially, it means the couple is so fundamentally incompatible that they cannot reconcile their differences and maintain a healthy marriage." (It was also the title of a 1984 movie where a little girl endeavors to sue her parents for divorce.) I've always wondered what constitutes "irreconcilable differences." It claims "no fault" unlike adultery, extreme cruelty, addiction or desertion. So what else would be so horrible or unforgivable that divorce is the only recourse? Tell us in a story.

Mis-Match-Marriage

They started off as friends

In the same workplace at the same time each day. Passing each other with a conversation

on-the-run. Finally, they made plans to meet at a place where they both adored, the movies.

After the movies they went for dessert at waffle House where they had time to talk and relate.

This went on for hours. Closer to her apartment than his, they finally left the waffle house and went to her place. They went in and crashed on her sofa. Neither had to work that day so they spent the day and the night together for about 2 years. Then he popped the question. Married for 7 more years with 2 children, they enjoyed each other until the summer came one year to spoil it all. The head moving disrespect from women is tiny tight clothing. Hanging out all night with the guys. An argument over every little thing. No eye contact. Disagreement on how to raise their children. Family members adding their two cents worth.

Doubts of love and attraction were settling. No date nights for years. No vacation, no cash, no means. House bills moved in with children to feed. Everything became overwhelming. His first instinct was to run, so he did. He hooked up with a girl at work again and moved in with his best friend. She was left with the mess and because most women are survivors for their children she survived. She filed for a divorce after a year and is now dating her attorney. The End.
