Brief But Intense Meteor Shower On January 4th
PolygamousRanchKid writes with this quote:
"Sky watchers are in for their first treat of 2012, as the short but intense Quadrantid meteor shower will light up the northern sky in the early morning of Jan. 4. According to a NASA web page on the Quadrantids, there could be as many as 200 meteors per hour, though the average rate is about 60 to 100 per hour. ... The Quadrantids have not been studied as extensively as some of the better-known meteor showers like the Perseids and Geminids, possibly because it's best visible in far northern latitudes, where its appearance coincides with cold weather."
Have you stayed together this long because:
A) You have a religious/social sense of obligation.
B) You have kids, and separating would be too hard on them.
C) You can't afford a divorce.
D) You have an open relationship and regularly go on adventures without one another, but still like each other too.
E) You actually still like each other, and would prefer to continue spending time together rather than every thing/one else you could be doing.
Personally I haven't found anyone to be interesting or interested enough to justify a lifelong commitment. The world is just too full of variety to pass it all up. I also don't know very many people who stick with it this long, or would ever want to, so I am curious as to the motivations of those who do.
