Isn't it surprising when people divorce after living together for almost 15 yrs.

Yes, that always really surprises me too. It seems like if there were such bad problems in the marriage, then you would end up figuring out that you don't want to be married to the person before 15 years have passed!

I personally know a few peolpe who have divorced after 25 years. They have stayed together for all the wrong reasons, kids, finances, laziness.

My parents were married for 15 years and ended up getting a divorce. Quite frankly I don't know how they could stand eachother in the first place. The didn't have much in common and fought all the time.

No, it really doesn't surprise me when some divorces after being together for many years. Not anymore it doesn't. I figure if they divorce after that many years. There was something wrong in the marriage. I would like to say I don't believe in divorce...I use to not to. But after what I went through with my ex husband..I do now..I am currently married to my second husband..I wish I would of met him first. We have been together for twelve years coming this May 6th.

If you lived with someone for so long, some people tend to get "empty" life. Or someone that already not enjoying living together anymore, and they keep it inside for so many years. I think that where communications and affection should take place in marriage. People tend to get bored after years of marriage, and showing some affection once a while can rekindle an old flame in marriage.

Yes its so suprising but still maybe they have their own reasons. Me i really dont want my marriage just end like that because i put all my sacrifices in it, we all have gone in many circumstances. Maybe it's just a lost of intimacy with each other, i dont believe that the main reason is i donbt love her or him anymore, your just maybe confuse because you have found another girl that gives you such intimacy that your wife has never give to you when you start havinga child. I think this is just the reason why some people got divorce.

I will probably surprised you...I get divorced after 15 years...it is easy to say...but...difficult to experience...I am not going to talk about in details….things happened to good people…I was not planning it…

I guess... in a divorce the biggest importantance should be given to children. I mean, if there are children, people who wanna' get divorced should think twice. Bringing back a new dad in tier life or a new mom, won't be the same. The divorce is a big risk. It affects children a lot. In time... and I would know. Cause my mom and dad are divorced for 10 years and now I have a step dad and I'm telling you: issues, issues and issues.

It is really surprising. I think we should contain more patient.

It makes a little sense to me. What I mean to say is that it all depends on the circumstances. Maybe, the husband has just retired and they are spending to much time together. Maybe, one of them has been caught cheating. Maybe, one of them is just finally fed up with the other one. There are a lot of reasons that a marriage can suddenly end, after a long time. I lived with a guy for nine years and I swore when I left him that I never wanted to know anyone that well again. I took care of this couple once who were married for sixty-two years. Can you imagine going to sleep and waking up to the same person for that long. The husband passed away while I was still there and it was very hard on the wife. Some people stay together for the companionship, the children, the inconvenience of starting over, they say, we have been married for this long, might as well stick it out. I do not believe in divorce and I do not want to spend my whole life miserable, so I am content to wait on God to send the right man for me to marry. Some people don't do this and they continue to try to force something to fit, that was not meant to and it is a disaster.

Hi there, I think its mad what a waste of life 15 years.
