Do you believe in divorce?

I "believe" in divorce. It's all around us. ;)

Other than abuse or infidelity, I don't "believe" in divorce. You took vows and they have to mean something.

My neighbors (who are our best friends) are in the middle of a divorce. I told my 8 year old daughter about it because I knew she was probably getting bits and pieces and I wanted her to be informed. I told her that this is something she will never have to worry or stress about...that Daddy and I truly meant our vows. She looked at me - straight in my eyes - and said "Thank you" and hugged me.

It shouldn't be easy to divorce. Why get married with the notion "If it doesn't work out, we'll just divorce. I deserve to be happy". That's not what marriage is suppose to be.

Well, I was a firm believer in the whole "death do us part" thing until my sister's marriage fell apart. Her husband had been cheating on her for years and she never told anybody. She was very depressed because she felt like a failure in her marriage and decided the only way out of her marriage was to kill herself because she promised to be with him until she died. Fortunately, a very good friend intervened and got her to a hospital where she was treated. Her divorce was the best thing that ever happened to her. Sometimes it's the lesser of two evils... nothing is black and white.

Unfortunately divorce is sometimes the best answer. Most who find themselves in marital difficulties make stupid decisions which makes matters worse, I believe most could be worked out. Most do not have a clue of how to fix problems. I learned my lesson the hard way. When a marriage is broken-it is wrong to attempt to glue it back together. 30 years later all you have is a broken marriage that has too much glue on it for it to function properly.

I believe in it but some people dont like my x wife. I think the only time divorce is ok is if there are major problems in the marriage or stuff like abuse and stuff. My parents agreed when they got married that they would work through anything that came up. They are still married and happy even though they have argued alot.

I beleive marriage is sacred and something you commit urself to unconditionally .. I myself am having alot of problams in marriage but becuz i took vows i stick around .. no ones perfect i keep telling myself that ..Im dieing inside i lost myself as a person becuz of the commitment i made ..but I feel like i would be wrong to leave him cuz i made that commitment i feel its wrong but at the same time i want out cuz i lost myself somewhere along the way .. i have no life im just here and very unhappy .. is this really what marriage is suppost to be ? I dont think so im really starting to think about divorce myself .. i mean im the only one who sacrifices EVERYTHING ..and even so..im still not good enough ..as much as i love him and want to make our marriage work I know it wont becuz im the only one trying .. so im confused about that too .. im afraid god will hold it against me . just the thought of wanting to leave makes me feel guilty ..but why when he dont really want to be together anyway ..he told me he dont know what he wants so im about to just tell him go figure it out..we got together very young and had a child he was always out partying while i was home caring for our child ... i stood by him thru cheating and all but it broke me down as a person .. I think its time to set him free he says i hold him back from doing what he loves to do the most (party) he is always lusting after other girls and trying to get me to be with them ..so in my eyes he left the marriage along time ago? I just stuck around cuz i am strong beleiver in marriage and beleive we wer suppost to work it out together i mean we did say till death to us part for better or worse ..its confusing but can we keep living a lie > and a life full of heartache and pain ? i done my part and i tried put my pride aside lost my self respect confidance and myself as a person .. i guess you just gotta follow your heart and do what makes you happy ..i sacrificed it all and get nuttin in return but **** on every single day im just not sure it was worth it ..you both gotta want it and if u dont then your gonna be miserable might as well divorce u think ?

I believe in marriage. However when I got engaged I told him that the only reasons that I would divorce him where if he were unfaithful or became an addict and refused treatment. Well he became on addict, cheated, stole all the bank accounts we had spent time in prison came home and swore all of the time to me and the kids.........What would you do if someone did that to you?

I only believe in divorce if your spouse has done anything sexually with someone else during the marriage. Otherwise..no.
