Im married and it been 4 years, divorced is a no where near us for us. My hubby is from single mom family. My in law did got married to several men but didnt work out. So she is with her 5 or 6th man right now. They havent got married yet. Since my hubby grew up seeing his mom struggle so he dont want same thing happen to him and me. His older brother, he divorced once and now separated from his second wife. But my mother in law is the only person I know who married 4 or 5 times and divorced all of them.

My parents are divorced but my mother is a devot Catholic and therefore doesn't believe in divorce so my dad waited for 8 years then divorced her, without her agreement to it.... to this day she still calls herself "Mrs" and wears her wedding ring! now the divorce happened 27 years ago but as far as she is concerned ... she took those sacred vows and will live by them, she has never been with anyone else and views herself as a married woman!
i wanted her to live as a single woman but she says she loved him and the hurt was so deep that she will never risk that again!
I feel that she is sooooooooo wonderful she deserves someone nice to grow old with and share the simple things in life with but she won't consider it at all!

i am, and my husband is.
sometimes, no matter how you'd like to have the marriage work, it just doesn't. and you don't want to stay in a relationship and just be miserable all your life. you got only one life to live, it better be happy and loving.

oh yes, one of the biggest reasons we did it when we did, was because he was so young. Only 2 years old, so we felt if he grew up with it, then he would be accustomed to it when the age came for questions.
However, it doesn't matter, he is asking all kinds of questions now at 7 years old. Asking me to stay the night at his house, wondering when he can come with me. All those things.
No matter what, it is very hard when the children are involved

yes, I knew of someone very close to me who is a divorced. She is my dear sister,who just became a single mom with 3 kids. Me too, came from a divorced family, my parents separated when I am 19 and my youngest sis is at her 13. I came from an Asian country, the divorce rate in my country is escalating from year to year. This is a real upset situation.

My parents divorced when I was 10 years old. I have been with my husband for almost 11 years and I am his second wife. Divorce is all too common and it impacts our children the most. I advise anyone to try to work it out especially if have small kids. If you can't, then always be there for your kids, never talk about the other parent, never make them chose, and try to remain friends.

My momma was divorced from her first husband, and then she married my dad, she had 2 kids by her 1st husband, my older sister, and she lost the 2nd child at birth. My sister was 11 years old, she was old enough to choose who she wanted to live with. She chose to live with her dad, and she stayed with us too. My sister has been divorced twice, she is on her 3rd marriage.

My parents are together and have been for 25 years. I am divorced myself. I am kinds the black sheep cause everyone in my family has stayed together. all my auntes and uncles and my parents and grandparents. My family is happy I am divorced because my ex was abusive, but they wish I would have married the right guy the first time.
