Today marks 10 years since same-sex marriage became legal in America. And to commemorate it, we have a really lovely piece from Jill Layton about the breakdown of her 10-year-long, same-sex marriage. She writes, “It's not a dramatic ending. No salacious plot twist, no villain, no scandal (at least not the kind that would end a marriage). Rather, it was the slow unraveling of something that once felt solid. We grew apart. We became different people from the ones who made those vows. In other words, we are ending our marriage the same way so many others do: with sadness, with dignity, with complicated love, and with a mediator. And honestly? I find a strange comfort in that.”

Read it. I promise it will make you think.
