4. I've never been married, so I'll be careful here...
Edited on Wed Aug-04-10 09:55 AM by Iggo
...and first speak from the perspective of a child of divorce.

Near the end, my parents fought. A lot. I don't remember there being any physical violence involved, but there was a lot of yelling and name-calling and stomping off and slamming doors. For a couple of years. It sucked.

They got divorced. It was the right thing to do. I was happy about it then (when I was 12), and I'm even more happy about it today.

That was my first experience with divorce and therefore it's my default position when it comes to hearing that some couple is getting divorced. That maybe they are just done being a couple and maybe their breakup is for the better. Sad that it didn't work out for them, but happy they realize that they need to not be together anymore.

Anyway, like I said...never married.

(I spel gud)
