Americans, Why Do You Love Celebrating Your Failures? It Makes You Look Stupid And Weak

A report released on Saturday details how divorce parties will be the most popular new event in 2024, clearly on par with weddings. do not have.

Short-form reports from recent Axios be familiar with How “cultural attitudes” toward things like divorce are becoming “less negative” and are actually being commodified by Americans. I'm not at all surprised that corporate America would find a way to make more money out of the suffering of real people, but the way “divorcees” are accepted speaks to a strange and foolish tendency to make Americans look weak. To the rest of the world: Celebrate failure.

Listen, I'm not an idiot. I know many women from around the world who celebrated when they kicked a terrible man out of her life. These males are usually the weakest of the herd. A cheater, a violent liar, and an untrustworthy prostitute abuser who belongs in prison (as far as I'm concerned). But after a woman is freed from abuse, celebrating the pain she has to go through to find freedom feels…wrong. Even if you are a woman celebrating.

But Americans seem happy to spend thousands of dollars on failed marriages through divorce proceedings and then pat themselves on the back for doing a terrible job of getting married in the first place. (Related: Anthony Weiner basically thanks sex scandal fame for Icky interview)

Evite has seen a 22% increase in e-invites to divorce parties since 2019, and the #divorceparty tag on Instagram has 70,000 hits at the time of writing. Oh, and “divorced dad rock” also appears to be a genre of music, according to Axios. None of this is anything to be proud of. There are many times when divorce is a good thing for one or both parties in a marriage, but whoever (or both) is at fault deeply feels that they have not kept all the laws revealed in God's vision. You should be ashamed. for marriage.

Essentially, divorce proves that you, your ex-spouse, or both have stopped trying. You failed at the job you volunteered your whole life for. You failed to fulfill your promise to support others. You (or your spouse) were too weak-hearted to put your marriage above yourself (or yourself). Why, oh why should your weakness be celebrated?
