Maybe a reason for the increasing divorce rate?

A few days ago a player told me, that 3 of his friends got divorced in UO and he wanted to know if it is a new trend.
This player made me think of this....we Counselors do alot of weddings every month, but we never get to know if the wedding couple is happy with their decision.
I rembered some calls in the last month where players told me their reasons for getting divorced. The main reason is that after the wedding, the couple trys to spent as much time as possible together.
They told me their story that led them to their decision.
(Now the fun part):
1.The couple traveled through spawning areas and after a while of hunting the wife died. After she was resurrected she was angry:"Why havent you healed me? It was your part to do this!" Husband:"I tried really! But this titan was too quick." Wife:"Hey dont fool me, after you have done the *In Vas Mani* you healed yourself
instead of me!" Husband:"Darling i targeted you, but you were dead before i could heal you and after you died i targeted me to ressurect you."
Wife:"Ok thats it, your own fame is more important to you than mine and my life, now i will show you who looses fame...*Corp Por* *Corp Por* *Crop Por*..."

2.Wife:"******, everytime we visit a town you meet some of your "Ol buddies" and you meet in an inn to drink until you are not able to cast a gate for more than 1 hour. I do not like that, its boring for me and you look stupid if you are drunken, if you continue doing so, i will have to leave you." Husband:"Oh sorry Honey, I thought you would enjoy it like me. Ok i will stop that, you are much more important than having alcohol with my friends. Will you forgive me?"
Wife:"Sure my lil Puh Bear :). *hug*" Husband:"Ok lets go to an inn and have us some ale
to celebrate this!" Wife:"ARGH! *Kal Ort Por*"
He never saw her again.

I hope this will not prevent any marriage, but maybe I can make a just married couple think about spending too much time together. ;)
