"Divorce is for when you want to cut something off so you don't need to worry about it anymore." -ChiliDragon, while we watched the scene in "Wedding Crashers" where the two dudes mediate a divorce Now I know, intellectually, that what my dear Chili meant by this is that divorce should be a clean start rather than something dragged out for years on end as the two sides quibble over who should get what in the settlement, but I am terrified nevertheless.
