Neither would describe the marriage as \u201chappy.\u201d  \u201cAlmost every day since we got married has been a grind,\u201d said husband Paul.  \u201cI am pretty sure she was nagging me on our honeymoon.  Sure, we have had some good times.  Or at least, I am pretty sure.\u201d  Wife Anna agrees.  \u201cQuite frankly, we should not have gotten married,\u201d said Anna.  \u201cIt was one of those things where timing played a part, and I think we both thought we were supposed to do it, but deep down knew we weren\u2019t supposed to do it.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nFriends and neighbors aren\u2019t surprised the Nielsons are getting divorced, they\u2019re surprised it has taken so long.  \u201cI mean, we all have struggles,\u201d said friend and neighbor Sandy Halsor.  \u201cExcept on Facebook, obviously, on Facebook we all have perfect spouses and relationships.  Anyway, they didn\u2019t even have the pretend perfect Facebook relationship.  In fact, I\u2019m pretty sure they aired dirty laundry on Facebook.  It was really awkward.\u201d  Many other neighbors have noticed the tension over the years.  \u201cWhen we have neighbors over for parties, we always make sure they\u2019re not in the same room together,\u201d said friend and neighbor Jim Alger.  \u201cOtherwise, they can completely ruin a party with their bickering and looking for people to take their side.  It was just awful.\u201d  Neighbor Jim Weber states what most of their friends believe.  \u201cThe truth is, they are both great,\u201d said Weber.  \u201cJust not great for each other.\u201d\nSo, after 12 years of matrimonial discontent, the Nielsons are calling it quits.  But, they made it much longer than anyone thought they would.  \u201cIt\u2019s really remarkable,\u201d said Halsor.  \u201cI mean, I honestly don\u2019t remember them ever having a positive moment.  Nothing.\u201d  We all wish the best for Paul and Anna, and hope they can find happiness with someone else.  We can just hope they don\u2019t post comments and photos with that special someone immediately on Facebook.  ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-125","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
