The other side of the story

How come when people meet someone and hear their story about divorce, it always seems like it was clearly the other person's fault and the person you are speaking to was clearly jilted.

In my case, I firmly believe that I did everything I could to try and foster a happy marriage that was irreconcilable.

I rarely meet someone that I don't feel sorry for the situation they were dealt in marriage.  I think it's because society's general belief is that marriage is sacred and any marriage that dissolves is a tragedy, no mater what side they are on.  But, there are always two sides to every story.

I kinda want to know what the other side of the story is; especially the other side of my story.
