Wow, I am shocked! / myLot

I would have never suspected this. A couple my husband and I have known since College, my husband was a groomsman in their wedding, got divorced after 32 years of marriage. They have 9 children and a few grand kids!!! I even learned online that the guy just remarried! This is a couple who I really thought would never divorce. I really am surprised. It is true you never really know what is happening behind closed doors. Have you been thrown for a loop, thinking a couple would never divorce after having so many kids and being married for decades and then they go their separate ways?

No but it does happen often simply because as we get older we tend to change and sometimes the two in a marriage find they are no longer compatible.

Unfortunately this happens a lot often especially if the kids are all adults now. The marriage might just have turned out to be a ''project'' to get the children through school and college and if these objectives are achieved, the ''project'' is no longer relevant.

Some just want to get married to have children and get so involved in that, that they grow a part.

Life is like that, there are always surprises and reasons for divorce of couples that we cannot imagine. When the conflict is not resolved, there is no common voice, soul and lifestyle harmony, a divorce will happen even after having many children and happy years.

The couple I mentioned above, I would love to know why they divorced. Hopefully one day I will find out.

@LeaPea2417 If they want to share, you can know the main reason for their divorce. If they don't say anything, just let it go because they all have their own choices.

People with many children often feel they have nothing more to say to each other once the kids leave the nest. It is sad, but I am not at all surprised.

That really must have come as a huge shock to you. Of course I've known couples who have divorced, but not after the length of time being married as your friends.

What makes it more of a shock, is the couple went to a Christian religious College (where they met). I guess it doesn't matter how religious a person is, divorce happens in different situations.

@LeaPea2417 Yes, it doesn't matter at all these days it seems. My son's ex was a true Christian, but that didn't keep her from breaking the Ten Commandments - cheating and lying.

What a shockeroo. We have known several long time couples who split - and we never thought it would ever happen - but they were much younger than the folks you know.
