Should be a law to forbid divorce?

Forget laws for divorce. There should be requirements and laws for everyone thinking about getting married. If people weren't so quick to get married there might not be as many broken homes. The same should be true about having children. I know that will never happen but heres hoping.

I am so sorry that you had bad memories of your childhood. I know that you must have felt lost during those times. But here is one thing I want you always remember, whatever wrong things you may have witnessed and felt, try to make your own family life better. It will surely be the happiest days of your life.

Completely forbidding divorce is dangerous because it does not consider the man or woman in physically violent marriages My thought however, is there needs to be a punishment for unfaithfulness. It should be looked at in the same light as attempted murder.

i'm sorry but i don't think so. even parents, as husband and wife have their own life and when it's really not good to be with each other anymore, they have the rights to divorce.. i think it's better than having heard of parents' fight everyday right? i'm sure it's painful for their children and unbearable, even sometimes damaged their personalities but, i think the stress will be overload if a couple really can't stand each other anymore, in front of children. just to notice - i didn't say this out of nothing. it's not too late, you can say honestly what you're thinking or that you want him loving you like before.

Never divorced but I think he was just living. For the 1st time in years he put his wants and needs first. Yeah it sounds selfish but as a spouse and parent you can really lose yourself in the day to day. It sucks that he hooked up with such a witch. He will most likely regret his actions and will one day want your forgiveness. Everybody makes mistakes. Plus there is no handbook for parenting, it is just hard. I am sure he loves you. Just give him time to explore and get some more life experiences under his belt. He probably knows that you are angry with him and his new witch. Maybe he is trying to give you space and thinks that you will come around after the anger susides.

please dont be angry with me and dont misunderstand but your father looks selfish,he just focused on his lover and didnt care you and the others the situation you were in is really difficult and complicated problem. i am not really enough to give you good advices but i just can say you,please try to relax and try to be strong, believe me even we have family and friends,we are all alone in this world ,so try to stand .. peace..

Hello Suzanne, My heart goes out to you. I hope your pain will lessen as time goes by. I agree with you that divorce is most hurtful to children and the divorcing parents should take this into consideration. However, there should not be a law forbidding divorce. Sometimes people stop loving each other and do not want to stay together. If you forced them to do so you would have to live in a poisoned atmosphere doing much harm. Divorcing parents should take great care to make sure no harm comes to their children. Speak to your father and tell him what is bothering you. Maybe he has not realized that the new wife is discriminating agaist his children. In the meantime stay well and healthy, stay close to your siblings and your mom.

I am so sorry to hear about the actions of your father. Hopefully he will someday realize the wrongs of his actions. However, while it would be nice to imagine a world where it was illegal to divorce, causing everyone to live married happily-ever-after, this could never be. What about the women and children who suffer emotional, mental and physical abuse at the hands of father? If divorce was illegal, they would be stuck forever.

It's heartbreaking to know that you are experiencing this. It is traumatic for the kids of divorced parents to undergo such drastic changes when a parent decides to marry someone new. However, things like divorce are sometimes inevitable when both partners do not love each other anymore. The only thing that should never be taken away is the love of the parents to their kids. I just hope that you will be able to get through this. No child should ever feel like this. It is unfair I know. Just a few words of advice, keep the love alive between you and your siblings. Your strength together will become stronger. I also hope that you will be happy in the future.

In the Philippines, divorce is not allowed.. Philippine laws adheres the sanctity of marriage.. we forbid divorce but we have annulment here.. annulment in the sense that nullity of marriage for legal and compelling reasons.. married couple cannot avail of annulment that easy.. it's a long process.. a long process of investigation...it's because separation here is not tolerable act.. I'm sad that you are a victim and who suffers a lot with separation of your parents ..I'm hoping that you can cope up with your situation right now...Just pray.

The shortcomings of your father and the woman he's now with are not due to divorce, just their shortcomings. I don't think divorce should unlawful, however divorce needs a legal agreement, just as marriage does. There is really nothing worse for children to be living with parents who are so focussed on their, failing, relationship either they are quarelling with each other or speaking only through a third party - often the kids. That leads to neglect too.
