I am recently divorced. How many people who are on here are divorced? Do you tend to surround yourself with other divorced people? Do you tend to have a negative attitude towards marriage now. I just wonder if there are as many divorced people as there seems to be. Thanks for your answer. Appreciate your honesty and taking the time to answer.

I am divorced.
I still maintain the same group of friends that I have had forever. Most all of my friends are either highschool buddies or fraternity brothers. I have been friends with all of them basically my entire life. Some of my friends are married; some are divorced; some are engaged; some are single. To your point though, I have spent alot of time with my divorced friends, being there for them whenever there wives have done them wrong, and them, for me, when my wife did me. Divorce is something horrible and, unless a person has been through it, they just don't understand how hard it is, huh?
I don't know that I have a negative attitude towards mariage as a whole, because I know there are people out there like my parents, but mariage does seem to be broken for this generation, (I am 28 btw). It seems as though people don't take the responsibility and commitment seriously anymore, and it bugs me.
I am with you. It does seem like WAY TOO MANY people are divorced. I know this is not always the case, but in my circle of friends it has been the wife that has flaked out each and every time. I don't know if thats because I surround myself with such good dudes or if we all just have poor tastes in women? Check out a website called womensinfidelity.com...that website rings true, about females for all my friends. Now, I dont think they all cheated, but everything else seems to add up with that, and, heck, most probably did cheat or atleast think about it.
Stay Up Playa!

I'm divorced.
I've got friends who are single, divorced, and married. I tend to spend more time with the divorced and single friends though because I feel like a third wheel when I'm hanging out with my married friends. I do have more friends who are single parents now than I did before. I guess because we have more in common.
I don't think I necessarily have a negative opinion about marriage now, but neither do I think I'll get married again. Who knows though, nobody knows what the future holds.

I am. I guess you could say that I'd probably gravitate myself towards other divorced people, unfortunately I don't know many who are, so I don't. And yes, I have a much more negative attitude towards marriage now, but I still think it can work when you are married to the right person... but that's what's hard about it- finding the right person.

I'm divorced and remarried. The second time around is worse. I'll never marry again after this. NEVER. I don't surround myself with anyone. I keep to myself all the time in order to survive what I'm going through at the moment. I find people don't like to listen to other people's problems.
