No, but I guess I'm a contradiction. Or let's say I wish it didn't
have to happen but sometimes it does. I'm divorced and I hate the fact that it didn't work after 10 yrs.

I am NOT in favor of NO FAULT divorce. You can't force someone to stay, and I would never do that. However, the way divorce is currently practiced shortchanges our children.
Many times unfaithful spouses are allowed to remain the custodial parent and be supported by an innocent, faithful spouse.
So while I would never hold someone against her will, I am dead set against the idea that you can just bail out because you are unhappy, especially where there are children involved without having to do any real work or having someone who is an expert evaluate the relationship and parenting skills of both parents.
Fidelity should matter when it comes to property and child custody issues.
Even God allowed divorce. However, he does say he hates it, and we as a society, even if we don't believe in God should be able to see and prevent the pain and torture inflicted by adultery and unfaithful spouses.
If they want to leave, let them leave. But don't let them take anything but what they came with them if they want to break their vows.

I hate to sound rude but I think divorce is the absolute last resort. I think those that get divorced did not take marriage all that serious in the first place although I will admit that sometimes its one person taking it serious and the other not. I am a guy who has been divorced and to tell you the truth I hated the whole thing. From begining to end divorce is not natural

No not really as God hates divorce... However in the case of severe abuse or repeated adultery or even abandonment by one spouse who never intends on coming back to you or the marriage... In these cases only do i believe in divorce if at all. I feel that you should work on your marriage and seek counseling for the marriage if need be before breaking up and wanting a divorce or out. People today want out of marriage way too easy and it is not good. Why even marry if you dont intend on staying married to begin with?

Of course i am you should never stay married to someone you dont want to spend the rest of your life with just because your married. Every one has th eright to be happy and i believe if you dont get a divorce you doing wrong by your partner by not giving them (and you) the chance to find the one you were meant to marry.

There is only 1 exception where I will even think about saying yes to divorce and that's if there's physical abuse.

In the presence of the 3 "A"s:
Addiction
Abuse
Adultery
Everything else can/should be worked out.
