The Party Crasher…

I’m reading a new book by Sophie Kinsella called “The Party Crasher”. It’s hilariously funny. However I can’t shift the feeling of sadness whilst I’m reading this book. Effie’s parents have divorced, and her father has a new girlfriend who’s taken over the family home. Gus, Bean, Effie are siblings. Grown adults. Mimi, Effie’s mother has moved out of the family home: Greenoaks.

It’s never easy when there’s a breakup between a husband and wife. There’s still pain even when children are involved. In this story, the children have grown up, and there’s still pain.

I think men find it easier to move on quicker than women.

Interesting facts about relationships..

What do you do when you are bored?  I like to skim, flick through some boring magazine I find lying around, in random places, like at work in the staff canteen, on the bus or in the local library.  I happened to come across an article about Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie – which I found very interesting.  These are two mega stars in USA, both making lots of money.  Both worth a hell of a lot of money.  From their previous experiences, of divorce – Pitt in his last marriage and Jolie – from her previous three, they both had messy divorces.  They both decided that when they finally hitch, they will split everything down 50/50, as they have children involved. in case their marriage breaks (you don’t want to think of the worse case scenario) and what ever they made before they both got married, in the single days, they can’t touch.  That is for themselves.  Isn’t that a terrific idea?  Sometimes, you can learn something new about famous people and their experiences.
