BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL “How do you go from eight years of a happy marriage to wanting to blow someone’s head off?” asks Sarah Jessica Parker’s character “Frances” in the premiere episode of the HBO series Divorce. I was reminded immediately of the retort by the late actress, Jessica Tandy, after being questioned about her 52-year marriage to Hume Cronyn: “Divorce? Never! Murder, frequently.” Yes, sometimes you don’t like the person you love. Sometimes that person does things to inconvenience, annoy or hurt you. That’s when you’re supposed to be able to talk about it, so whatever it is stops. If you’re Frances, though, you blow your life up.
