Many say that money is the root of all evil.  I have a different opinion.  I strongly believe that the root of all evil lies in the expectations that we set for ourselves. It is not my belief that anyone gets married with the intention of anything other than forever, for always, no matter what.  I also do not believe that anyone is equipped with some magical crystal ball that can predict what the future holds.  People change. Paths are taken, and sometimes those paths do not lead down the same road.  My path has led me down a very bumpy road – a road filled with potholes and craters large enough to swallow a T-Rex in one gulp.  It is not to say that I wanted all the chaos that life handed me, but choices were made, and consequences were handed out.
