over a quiet beer this afternoon, my friend poured out to me how unhappy he was with his wife. i had heard this before over the years from him, but today, his heart felt even heavier. he mentioned divorce multiple times and was truly distraught at the situation. with a kid, and ageing quick (he is 63) his choices were not many and none were that good.

to be unhappy at home or at work, or the possibility of unhappy in both is a sad reality many face. uncomfortable where they spend the day, and then feeling hesitant to walk in the door of a space that is supposed to bring comfort can only be described as a living hell.
