While most people seem to enjoy holidays and time off work, it seems some do not enjoy the company with whom they are “forced” to spend the time. Company in this case meaning one’s spouse, life partner, love of your life, whatever.
The “solution”? File for divorce of course.
Paul Doolan, a partner with Sydney divorce firm Barkus Edwards Doolan, said: “The first few weeks of January are always our busiest time. We get a large spike in people wanting advice. Christmas can be a real pressure cooker situation for some people. They are thrown together for an extended amount of time and at the end of it someone just says, ‘That’s it, I can’t take it any more and I want a divorce’.”
“They are thrown together for an extended amount of time”. I think I’ve seen it all (though of course I haven’t). Generally marriage says to me that you’ll be spending the rest of your life with someone. That includes holidays.
I could understand unpleasant eventualities such as long term sickness or ill-health possibly placing stress on a marriage, but… holidays?
