I was invited to one of those intellectual seminars at the university, and I was early as always. So I kept checking people's faces as they came into the big hall, and I could see an old friend. I waved at her, and she saw me, so she came and sat in front of me, and we started talking. It has been a long time since we met, and throughout our long history, we have shared many common friends. I told her of our friend, whom we met in college. She was among the first to get married and have children, no wonder! She lived a strong love story that we all talked about in our youth. At that time, my friend told me, "Poor kids, now they must live the nightmare of their parents' divorce'. 

A curious old woman was sitting beside me, and evidently, she could hear us talking! At that moment she said, "Men!" They always do that, they decide when to leave and do not even care about the consequences, especially with children involved! 

We both looked at her, and I said, "Well, our friend loves her children and that is why she filed for her freedom”.
