Is June "Announce You are Getting Divorced/Separated" Month?

I always thought that June was one of the busiest wedding months. But this year, apparently it is also one of the busiest announce you are getting a divorce" month. First it was James Van Der Beek (aka Dawson from Dawson's Creek) divorcing his wife, actress Heather McComb, after 6 years of marriage.

Then, just this past Friday, actor Bradley Whitford and actress Jane Kaczmarek filed for divorce. After 16 years of marriage and 3 kids, the couple has decided to call it quits.

And, as they eluded to on their show tonight, Jon and Kate Plus Eight stars Jon and Kate Gosselin have decided to file for divorce. The couple was married for 10 years and has 8 children together. And, of course, they rose to fame when they decided to chronicle their lives raising 8 kids. Many have criticized that them being a part of the show led to the demise of their relationship. I think their are a lot of elements that go into it, and no matter what, the saddest part of the situation is what these 8 kids have to go through.

Okay, everyone please make nice, remember why you got married, and love the person you are with. No one else is allowed to get divorced this month! Thank goodness June is almost over!
