when your middle-aged parents want to divorce ,what will you do ,nod or shake? will you persuade them to respect China trodition or to run after their inner thought? you know ,in China ,when the middle-aged couple divorce,they will get more pressure of the public voice.possitive and negative, i don't think they can bear it . there is a saying in China "public clamour can confound right and wrong" what will you do?

hi luckywuyan! for me, it depends on the situation of the family. if our family's not happy anymore, my father beating my mother, us the children suffering emotional trauma already, i think it's about time for my parents to get divorced. people around us doesn't know what's really happening inside the family, so maybe their opinions don't reflect the true need of the members suffering from a dysfunctional home.

Why should we be concerned with the feelings of others if you are the one suffering from pains, unhappiness and traumatic experiences? But if you think that the problems can still be patched up, then do something. To remain happy or be unhappy is a "choice". Why not act now before its too late? Wake up and be yourself! This is my opinion about divorce.

Divorce is a rare case in India and family courts try to patch up the differences. The family bondage is so good, hardly people would like to get dislodged. However, I feel one should think 100 times before marrying and once married, should give up all minor differences and try to live together for mutual benefit, mutual happiness with mutual trust.

divorce seems to be so common now, right now I have 3 friends going throu a divorce.. I think depending of the situation you should always try to make it work, espically if there are kids involved

I have actually helped my father through three divorces, shocking isn't it. Strangely my dad keeps getting married. My mother was his second wife and he is now working on wife number five! I on the other hand have had only one wife and we are still together. I would let the people involved with the divorce make up their own minds and support them as best I could. Sometimes love just fades, no matter how hard we try to stop it.
