Are, or did your parents divorce?

[mamamary]

My parent's marriage is still going strong after 55 years

My parents got divorced when I was 18 after being married for 18 years. They both remarried. I have been married for almost 10 years. I like my step-parents..my stepdad and I are very close but I'm still sad that my parents got divorced.

My parents divorced when I was three. Mom's been married three other times since (twice to the same man -- married, divorced, remarried). Dad's married two other times. My maternal grandmother was married twice, my aunts have both been married twice. We don't do marriage well in my family. I'm married to my husband for 17 years. I've decided if this marriage ends, I have learned my lesson and paid attention to history -- I will not get married again.

My parents divorced after 30plus years of marriage. Dad remarried (he passed away almost a year ago) and Mom never got over the whole mess. My husband and I have been married for 35 years (36 this July). I was an adult when my parents were divorced, but it wasn't any easier for me. One big huge mess.

I checked "another reply" because they aren't, but they should be!

Thankfully they divorced after making us all miserable for 20 long years

My dad died at 50, 2 months before their 25th anniversary. Mom never remarried because she said no one could compare. She died 13 years later at 61.

MIL and FIL were married 18 years when he died. That was 25 years ago and she never remarried.

DH are celebrating our 25th in Nov! I have 7 siblings and 6 are married. Their marriages range from 27 years to 5 years. We seem to all be in it for the long haul.

DH's only brother has a "its complicated". Together as teen parents (twice) then married. Fought bitterly and divorced after a couple of years. Were apart a few months and got back together and have been together ever since (20 years). A couple of years ago they had a vow renewal. I looked at DH and laughed then asked "did we miss something?"

They divorced. My mom should have never married my dad and should have divorced him many times before they actually did so.

The whole "staying together for the kids" thing is just crap. The times my dad was out of the house were the best times growing up.

My parents have been happily married and in love for 53 years. My father is 86 and his parents did divorce when the kids were adults but his father was never really there for them.

My inlaws were happily married for 39 years and always so lovey dovey affectionate when mil passed away at 58. MIL passed away about 6 weeks before their 40th anniversary. FIL never dated or anything after that but we aren't sure exactly when Alzheimers started. FIL did have a 1 night stand at 19. The lady got pregnant and they married. When the baby was a year old the mother took off and he raised his son (dh's half brother).

My parents were married for just short of 50 years. My father died just before their Golden Anniversary. It's been four years now and my mother still isn't interested in dating.

It's interesting because both of their parents divorced, back in the 40's/50's when divorce certainly wasn't the normal thing to do.

 

[nmmom95]

No. My parents will be married for 43 years in June and DH and I will be married 15 years in September.

 

[TwinsinCA]

My parents are complicated. They have been married for 42 years but when dad came out of the closet 22 years ago, they stopped living together. They are still good friends and are still technically married, but I don't really think of them as 'together' anymore.

DH and I have been married 17 years, it will be 18 this summer.

Parents are divorced.

Dad is remarried (and I wish that would end in divorce..it almost did and then it didn't--very disappointed!)

Mom divorced multiple times. She is remarried for the 5th time. She is one of nine and all 9 have been married, only 1 has defnitely not divorced and 1 other, I don't know if he is on his 1st or 2nd. The other 7 have all been divorced. Of those, including mom--at least 3 of them have divorced 3 or more times. Their parents--while in a tulmutuous marriage stricken by poverty, remained married until grandma's death in the early 90s.

DH's parents are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year.

His grandparents were married for a long long long long long long long time. (Grandpa died last February).

For us--it will be our 12th year of marriage this year.

 

[Piecey]

Still married. They're renewing their vows on the beach next year, 30 years.

 

[Robinrs]

My parents were married for 60 years when they died 6 months apart back in 2002 -2003. And they loved each other for every single minute.

Me, NEVER married, I'm a serial engagement person!

 

[Jusacuz]

My parents were never married...to each other. I grew up with a single mom. I met my father once in my life right after his wife had their 6th child together. We exchanged a few letters once I was an adult, but then he died before I could really meet him. I have no idea if my half siblings know I exist. He stayed married to the same woman for 40+ years, I think. My mom never remarried after her divorce (before my birth).

 

[NCRedding]

My parents have been married for 54 years, and are more in love today than they were when we were in the house. It is really nice to see.

DH's parents were married for 41 years when she was killed in a car accident.

We've been married 20 years, but I don't expect to make it much longer.

 

[mjkacmom]

No one in any of are families is divorced.

My parents have been married for 43 years this year and DH's parents have been married for 40 years this year. DH and I have been married for 13 years this year. In fact in both our families no one has been divorced
