I was the one kid in elementary school whose parents were divorced. It was something I grew up with and a central theme to a lot of my early life. So I told myself "If I'm going to go down that road, I'm going to do it right, and hopefully only once."
So in that context, I thought serious consideration was necessary first, and I don't think it's that much of a symptom for the way this one went down. (Though maybe a symptom of my greater sense of being screwed-up in relationships in general.)
