For those of you who have been following my Saga, then you know my husband walked out on me in November. Well, Friday--he filed for divorce. I think had he wanted to he could have come back and we could have fixed and saved our marriage. He just didn't want to do the work that would have been required. So do you think that this is the cause of the high rate of divorce? Have we as a society just gotten so callous that we would rather lose a person and start over then put in the work to save a marriage. What do you think?

If there is a way to avoid a divorce I think it should be done. I am a child of divorced parents and yeah it effected my sister and I more than it did my parents. My parents have been divorced almost 5 years and we still attend court over all kind of crap. I do believe that divorce was best for my parents and I dont think my opion will ever change on that but they should have thought about that before they brought kids into the world. I dont believe that people just fall out of love or grow apart either. Thats a bunch of B S if you honestly wanna know. I have not been married yet but I can say that I am only 19 years old and I have been with the same guy for 8 years!

I think divorce is something to be avoided as well, only my husband didn't think the same way and if he files for divorce which he has, then there is really nothing I can do. I know many friends who have been affected by their parents divorce. Luckily we didn't have any kids to get caught in the cross fire.

It's hard to say b/c each person is different. It may he doesn't want to bother working it out, it may be he's found someone new or it might be that he's tasted being single and has decided that's what he wants. Regardless, your probably better off. This gives you a chance to start new also.
I think alot of marriages end b/c some ppl don't take the time to get to know each other and find out if their really compatable. Instead they rush in, have kids and then the marriage falls apart and the kids are often the victims in it.
