not as random as lightning

There's a spat, fight, separation -- pending divorce, then reconciliation, but ...
truer to life than a soap, one of the two, at least one of the two is flirting with danger and another person. Yeah, the reconciliation is sincere -- right up to the, "honest" word which is a lie.

At work ... someone is trying to sabotage his/her life by screwing around -- or leading to that. Yup -- choosing disaster over fixing. How surprising!
