Divorce.

[DisGirlAllie]

What are your opinions on it? Why do you think it happens? Anybody's parents divorced? Discuss.......

I think it's fine if your hurting your children, just can't stay together, or for some other reason.

I think people divorce because they marry for the wrong reasons.

and my parents are not divorced, and I don't know what I would do if they were.

 

[AngienLuLu]

Eh. I don't know.

I think people divorce because they aren't happy together anymore.

No, my parents are still together.

My parents have been married 19 years.

My Dad did have a previous marriage and a child.
It's just kinda awkward when she comes around.
My parents took care of her until she was 16 and I was born. Then she ran away become she was jealous of me. And because she thought my mom hated her. Which she didn't of course.
Things are ridiculously different now. It's like a new life, a new time.
It's very awkward when anybody brings her up because my dad misses her, and the only time she comes around is for money. She married some 40 year old and moved to San Fransisco.

We're two totally opposite people. It just brings back random past stuff when she is around. Her husband is a bouncer at a club. No kidding. And I think she's unemployed, they don't have much money.

We have money. She's still jealous.

If that seemed cold, I'm sorry, but it's the truth. Like it or not.

As far as divorce it's self goes, it really all depends on the situation.

What are your opinions on it? I think that it is for the better if you aren't happy together.
Why do you think it happens? I think it happens because people just stop loving each other.
Anybody's parents divorced? Yes mine are. Have been for five years.

The reason mine are done is because they just stopped loving each other.

Yes, my parents are divorced. It's my opinion that if people are unhappy, there is no reason to stay that way. I understand fully that it's a commitment but I'd rather people separate themselves from that which is making them absolutly 100% miserable than keep a commitment. From the child's perspective, I'm thankful everyday that it's a possibility. No matter what the relationship of the divorced couple is after (my parents are still very good friends), it still absolutly sucks during the process. I'd get farther into it but I'm not going to be the first to break into the religious side of it; if someone happens to bring it up later I'll be sure to come in.

It happens for tons of reasons, far to many to name here.

My parents have been divorced since I was. I lived with my mom until I was 11 (long story). It's just really hard without her because she lives in Montana and I live in Nevada. I only get to see her twice a year.. but my parents were unhappy with they're relationship and nothing could really help with it, so a divorce was better for them.

Divorce is horrible.

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I think its ugly and hardly ever turns out well. My parents aren't divorced, but I have a couple friends who have divorced parents, and it's ugly. I understand if your spouse is abusive or cheated or something, but I think most people divorce just because they are sick of eachother or married too young/for the wrong reasons. And I can't believe how many people are divorced! It blows my mind.

Well my parents turned out fine. They just didn't love each other anymore but are best friends.

Just because they act fine, doesn't mean they are fine.

 

[Maleficent909TL]

It's a very touchy subject, but I think it just depends on the circumstances. I'd say that, like a lot of people on here, I think it's the result of people marrying for the wrong reasons most of the time. People seem to act a lot more quickly without really thinking about what a difference being married will make.

And no, my parents aren't divorced. Their 17th anniversary is coming up next weekend.

Wow, that was a good way to put it.

 

[eeyore.luver<3]

my parents have been divorced for as long as i can remember


idk why they did or why anyone does


what i DO know is this:
1- I can never love a step-parent or someone my parent is dating
2- I have been insulted for having divorced parents (by a friend :[)
3- It tears me apart thinking it might be my fault...


Overall, its an unpleasant thing and i hope i never have to go through it as an adult (esp. if i have kids...)

Mom and dad divorced when I was 4, mom and step-dad when I was 13 or so.

 

[Lovela]

Um...I would rather not talk about it. Because It make's me uncomfortable. My parent's are still together. My eldest sister. I'm not sure if She's adopted or my real sister.

 

[KingdomKeepers21]

I'd like to point something out. When looking at the divorce number BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ IT AS! One person may divorce more than one time. The number does not mean that those many people have gotton divorced. To people may divorce and re-marry, then divorce and so on and so forth. My parents are not divorced, and are really happy together. I believe divorce happens because people just don't love eachother, or becasue they married for the wrong reason. I feel sorry for all the people who have divorced parents. Many people think that their parents will never divorce. But, as stated in Calvin and Hobbes,
"This is one of those things we always think will happen to someone else. Unfortunalty, we are all someone else to someone else."

Sorry but how can you not know that? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, really I'm not, it just seems a little....odd.
