The Real Housewives Curse

I was perusing the newspaper headlines and it seems another couple who participated in the Real Housewives franchise is getting a divorce

What strikes me is could there really be a fatal element when you put your family and your marriage under the microscope of reality tv
What is it about these shows and the reality/not reality tv stage that is bringing marriages with 7 and 8 years behind them to a close

Now i have never been on a reality tv show...but i can more understand the high failure rate for new couples and newlyweds who choose to open their lives to public scrutiny and a birds eye view of a new couple trying to establish who they are...

If the stations were not so greedy and worried about ratings...having couples meet with a family psychologist while they participate in this would be a good idea...but i guess functional doesnt bring in ratings..

I think its a shame and when i hear about anyone who divorces its sad..but after 9 years i think wow u got past the hard part...

Marriage is not for the faint of heart on a good day....so having your fights arguments strengths and weaknesses play out on tv....smells like a recipe for disaster to me

But thats just my 2
