Venting like Old Faithful

I have about 5 minutes to write this but I just HAVE to write this because it's really bothering me.

As you might have heard, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce after 72 days of marriage. If you haven't where the hell have you been??? Anyway, it's obviously not the first "celebrity" wedding that's ended so quickly but for some reason it hit a nerve with me.

Probably because I've been struggling to make things work with my marriage. Whether that's the point or beside it, I've got something to say.

The term "irreconcilable differences" kind of pisses me off. I know that is one of the most popular reasons why people get divorced. To me, the only irreconcilable differences in a marriage are:

Abuse (sexual, physical, emotional)
Sexual preference
Sexual perversion

I know those are very broad but I think it's pretty obvious. "Sexual preference" mostly means "Oops, I lied, I'm really gay". Which I think I would have hit the jackpot if I got a gay husband, but whatever... And "sexual perversion" is not "Oh, he wanted to tie me to the bed and tickle me with the feather before we made love and I just wasn't into that kinky stuff." It's more of a "I found a huge stash of kiddie porn on his computer and I'm sending his perverted ass to jail."

But lets get back to what I'm originally so livid about: irreconcilable differences. Obviously I do not know what went on in Kim K. and that dude's (last name is Humphries I think?) marriage and I don't pretend to know. But what I do know is that they had a 10million dollar wedding, made 17million off the wedding and they couldn't even give it a go after 2 1/2 months? Really?

The differences between two people are what make a marriage interesting (and frustrating at the same time). Most married people have difference of opinions about things and most married people work their shit out. You made a promise before God and millions of people to love, honor and stay married to each other through good and bad and now you just want to just throw in the towel because of differences?

In my opinion, those differences should have been discussed and resolved BEFORE you said "I do." Do not say "I do" unless you are 100% sure you can handle those things about the other person you can't stand. TRUST ME. Because if they annoy the shit out of you before you're wed, they will annoy you 100 times more after. But that is not a reason to divorce.

I don't know... Like I said, I have no clue what what on in their marriage. I'm trying really hard not to be judgy judgy about them but honestly, if you are going to live your life in the limelight, you need to deal with people like me.

As for me... I heard someone say recently "Be better then reality television." I think I'll just live by that here. I need to be better and let those people deal with the shit they stepped in.

ADDED TO SAY:

I just wanted to say that I do not think their marriage is a "sham" or a "publicity stunt" or whatever else others are saying. That is not where I was going with this. They say they married for love, well good for them but obviously it wasn't enough love to stay together through those differences. And if it was a sham, then it's a pretty elaborate sham that took a lot of brain power and well... I just don't think they are capable of pulling something off so elaborate. JUST MY OPINION.
