Well - I think you mean marriage can be a bad deal. If you are in a bad marriage, divorce is not always a bad deal. Especially if the marriage was short, there were no children, and there were no large financial earnings during the marriage.

Even if there are children and large financial earnings, divorce doesn't have to be a bad deal. If you can minimize the impact on the kids, then it's just stuff. Split it up and move on.
Congrats Marathoner! It's great to hear that you are doing well.

Yes! Just ran the Honolulu Marathon last week and signed up for my favorite 50K today. 35 more states to go (trying to knock the states off 2-3 per year).
Am trying to gain more balance in my workouts (read through the weight lifting thread yesterday) and working on incorporating more weights and yoga into my routine, but I just love running!
Thanks to all for your nice comments -- I hope everyone has a great holiday season and a wonderful 2017!
