so, when you hear that someone you know who has been married for 20 years is getting divorced, you are slightly shocked.
and then when you hear of another couple you know, who has five kids under 6, are getting divorced, you are slightly more shocked.
and then when you hear of yet another couple you know who has been married for a while and has kids is getting divorced because the WIFE has a girlfriend, you are even more shocked.
but nothing can prepare you for what the husband and I found out last week. nothing.
and shock doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

so, another couple that we know, one that we know VERY well, or at least thought we did, are getting divorced.
why?
because the man in the relationship is becoming a woman.

it's a lot of information to digest.
(but, i think this might be the closest i'll ever get to being on Oprah!!)
