why do people divorce?

Question

They are ruining there childrens lives because of thier selfish desires.

Answer 1

Bullshit.

My kids are far better off with four happy parents than they ever were with two miserable ones.

There is *always* more to the end of a marriage than meets the eye, and no person who isn't inside that relationship has a right to judge.

Answer 2

Do you have kids?
Are you married?

How would you know what a married couple is going through, even if they were your parents? You only see one side of it.
Adults and kids have their own problems. Would you be able to understand what your parents going through, even if you asked them?
No, because you are not an adult. You have not gained their life experience and understanding of love and problems that come with being married.

The children should not just think of themselves, but of their parents. Parents are people too, and deserve to be happy.

People divorce because once they move in together, and have to do things like argue over bills, money matters, mortgage, their kids' education, and also have to deal with work. Then they also have to deal with their kids too.

The romanticism of being a couple is no more.

There is also the fact that maybe, just maybe, mummy and daddy aren't happy with each other. Perhaps they don't love each other anymore. Or perhaps their relationship is not what they used to be. Maybe their expectations of each other have changed, and of themselves.

Maybe they let it fall apart. They did not put each other as a priority.

Answer 3

I divorced because my husband was a lying, cheating, jerk that abused and controlled me. If you think thats selfish, thats your problem. Personally, I see it as torture.

Frankly, I wish my parents had divorced before they did because we'd have suffered one hell of alot less if they had. Divorce was a very good thing in that case as well.

Would you rather they stayed married and hated each other the whole time? Would you rather they fought all the time?

Sometimes, when you're a kid, you don't realize the truth of things. Sometimes divorce is better than the nightmare of the marriage.

Answer 4

There are a lot of reasons to divorce, but if they already took this decision is because it´s the best option in their case. I know families where parents are divorced and they get along
better than before and they ´re trying not to hurt themselves anymore.

Answer 5

Kinda judgemental, don't you think? In a lot of cases, it would be disastrous to all people involved for a couple not to divorce. Learn a little more before you make broad, condemning statements. Thanks.

Oh, and I've never been divorced, btw.

Answer 6

I divorced so that my son would grow up in a good environment and not hear the verbal fights or see a man beating his mother down. I thought he would not remember these things because he was young(3). I was wrong, he still periodocally brings things up and he is now 29!

Answer 7

You are wrong. They aren't ruining their children's lives. You are assuming that their parents aren't abusive. You assuming that they aren't being molested.

People divorce for many reasons. They fall out of love, they are abused, they are confused. Their reasons are theirs and they don't need a judgemental fool like you telling them they are ruining their children's lives. Grow up

Answer 8

Commitment
Marriage is suppose to be made between 2 people that make a decision they will be committed to each other no matter what.
If you visit some elderly couples you will find they stayed together 50,60,70 years.
today it may be 5,6,7 months or years.
God instituted marriage to be (normally for life) till one or both are deceased.

Answer 9

You sound like the Pillar of Love and Non-judgement.
