A lot of people think it's taboo mainly because of what society is going to say even though that so-called hypocritical society will never help them out with their credit card bills, loans,or even look after their families and children. It's just that a lot of people are raised with this false sense of pride and honour that makes them want to hold on to toxic relationships just for the sake of preserving that so-called honour. In addition, there are people out there who say that they are pulling on just for the sake of kids even though deep down somewhere they know it's not because of kids but due to their own list of endless insecurities about facing society and managin g finances post divorce. My mom herself is a living example of one of those women who is currently sacrificing her self-respect just for the sake of finances since she can't work due to her mental disability. In spite of being reassured by me, my brother, and other relatives, she lets that guy (as in my so-called father who has been cheating on her) stay with her in the same room. Unfortunately he coaxes her by saying that she is his legal wife and he can still do everything with her and yet makes promises to the other woman by talking to her on the phone every now and then. Currently it's only my brother who is dealing with this circus at home since I am away for college which is located at a different city. My so-called father has made up his mind about divorcing my mom and yet comes to her for his downstairs needs and my brainless mother always obliges. I can't wait until the divorce comes through. This isn't the first time he has engaged in affair. I came to know about his other fling just several days ago. Their marriage so far has been a messy one and there have been times when both of them even engaged in physical violence. I hope this is the final nail in the coffin and the divorce comes through. As far as relatives are concerned, I have this hypocritical uncle who thinks that my father's casual fling should be taken with a grain of salt and it's not a big deal at all. This idiot said the exact same thing when my other uncle (my mom's other younger brother) started coochie-cooing with his patient's daughter while still married to my aunt (mami). Back then, this hypocrite of an uncle and my grandparents told my aunt to just compromise and be the doormat in his life. Now that it's happening to their own daughter (as in my mom) they just can't take it anymore. Oh well karma is a bitter medicine that always manages to find some way to hit back. Right now these so-called relatives are also concerned about their izzat especially my grandfather who is avoiding people who are curious about my parents status. Hopefully this circus ends and the divorce comes through asap so that me and my brother can move on. It's always a better idea to separate peacefully than to go on with the mudslinging and abuse just for the sake of children. Every child deserves to grow up by witnessing a peaceful equation between his/her parents and if that peace can be maintained by remaining apart, then that is better for the children's well-being.
