Perfect ?

What consitutes to a perfect marriage? or a perfect relationship for that matter. Is there such word as perfect ?
I knew it didn't happen often but i thought from the bottom of my heart that one of my collegues had the perfect family. He was the typical "best" dad and typical "best" husband. someone that does everything and never complain. whether it be waking up in the middle of the night bcos the kids sick, or going home to cook dinner for her & doing household duties etc. we all heard her once say, "i wont be able to find anyone better than him." Even though he & her had complete opposite personalities, they both compromised. if you wanted a ideal example of "opposites attract" i'd tell you them. he accepted her and she accepted him. he sacraficed so much for her. they knew each other so well, and we all thought that they were the happiest family. 3 young kids. bbq's. family picnics. spending time with the kids making cakes together and sharing them with all of us here the next day. very happy. i met her at our conference and xmas party last year. we all bought presents for the kids. they were a beautiful couple. a beautiful & happy family. from the way they looked at each other, i could so remember how in love they looked. when they were eating. when they talked. when they danced. but the news was shared amongst us - they are spitting. shivers went down my spine. tears came up to my eyes. i felt goosebumps. nervous. sadness. emotions ~ not only me, but everyone in the office felt the same way. it feels gloomy, so quiet. no liveliness in the office today. its amazing how one collegues personal life could affect us all here, we're like a little family.
we were all supportive of him. he's voice trembled when he told us. he was close to tears. he said they both havent been happy in the last couple of yrs and have tried hard to make it work. they have been talking about seperating for the last 2 months. no one in the office noticed anything different about him. he worked the same. he was the same nice, friendly, helpful collegue as he use to. we could tell no emotion. ~ makes me think ~ sometimes what we see on the outside really may not be what happens behind closed doors ~
