When The Love Gets Too Old
Johnny Depp is back in the courts fighting his ex-wife Amber Heard. I don't really keep track of it but the headlines have a way of dancing into view. Based on what I'm reading Amber seems like a real piece of work but also, Johnny was a fool to believe this nut job woman was the right woman for him. On one level, I sort of sympathise because if you're a guy, you kind of let things just happen and trust in yourself to make things right. It's only natural - the extent you can believe in a natural with this kind of thing.
One of my friends Quincy is getting a divorce. It's suddenly blown up this past week and his wife is talking lawyers and getting papers drawn up. It doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun. Maybe there was a fundamental difference in not just outlook but beliefs as well. It's been crazy with the pandemic and maybe they spent too much time in each other's company and they're both sick of one another. That's not exactly surprising. Fortunately they don't have kids so it's not like they've got that to fight over.
His ex-wife-to-be Rhonda seems pretty relaxed about it all, now that she's getting a divorce. Maybe she's been feeling like this was a long time coming. It's hard to say. Quincy is complaining that she's making him out to be the bad person and that's why they're getting a divorce. Knowing the arguments they've had in the last few years, I can't say that Quincy is without some modicum of guilt in the way things have transpired. They're being mean to one another because they're unhappy with the way things are. What can they do if counselling hasn't worked?
Oh yes, the counselling. Quincy has described it as an opportunity for Rhonda and the counsellor to gang up on him every session.
"Every session! Like I'm some kind of abusive psycho villain!"
The thing is, Quincy will be out in the wide world in no time, probably looking to hook up with somebody. It's probably for the best anyway because he'd always grumble about how they missed their boat for having kids and all they had to look forward to was old age with cats. Maybe he'll manage to find a woman who can give him kids, even at this stage of his life. I myself would not want to do that, but he actually sounds game.
