They Are Always Soo Surprised


In living life, and watching many movies I have learned that you can never figure people's behavior. I have seen this in life as well as the movies that after a certain person fools around on their spouse, the spouse finds out about it and then tells the person she is leaving, the first person always looks so surprised and so hurt after being told. Like when Rob Lowe's character was told by his wife she was leaving even after she caught him nearly in the act with the nurse! What did he expect?? I have never understood this. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Every marriage of someone I've known, in which the two met after the man was enlisted has failed. I don't mean 2-3, I'm talking 20-30. It is just a system that advantageous to marry, which makes people rush into something they normally wouldn't. One of my very best friends married a girl after knowing her for 3 weeks!!! A month later he was deployed, and probably 30 seconds after she kissed him goodbye she was hitting the town looking for a lay. She even called me over to talk because she was "going crazy with her man in harms way", only to try reaching for my crotch within 10 min of me being there!! She didn't understand that being hot doesn't get you everything!! I have my friends' back. Always. I know that doesn't really answer your ?? , but I guess to sum it up, when you live fast, things don't go as they should. Nobody takes marriage seriously anymore.
