Divorce!

[Freak Show]

Since George wants the convos elevated a bit.....

How do you guys feel about people getting divorced? Think its getting out of hand? What are your personal opinions?

My folks raised me a bit old fashioned so I believe that I'm not settling down until I'm damn sure I found someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. In todays society I know alot of people think its unrealistic, but I still believe it can happen.
I think too many people treat marriage like a high school relationship. They never truly get to know someone before they commit and as a result, they realize later that this person has qualities they can't live with. These things take time. I thought for sure that I was going to marry the last girl I was with. It took me almost 3 years to realize that this may not happen. You can learn something new about someone almost every day you're with them. You don't know everything after a year.

I think people get married entirely too easily and spend to much time planning the event and not enough time on learning how to communicate, how to negotiate and how to be and independent person within a relationship.

Many people, not all, cry I'm getting a divorce because it's just easier then trying to solve the problem. It's easier to walk away than admit the possibility of being wrong.

Divorce with young children involved is a completely different matter and one that I will not comment on.

Practice polygamy, but w/out the marriage part. Make them wear electric shock ankle bands to keep them in check.

i read where the divorce rate is higher for those who actually live together first. interesting...one might think a "test drive" would make the marriage's prospects better....

Yeah I think divorce rates are too high, my parents are the latest to join that statistic after 23 years together...I will do my part to keep the number down by Staying single for as long as I can

Anyone who thinks that getting a divorce is "easy" doesn't have a clue.

 

[HeavyDutyGuy]

Divorce is NOT easy - on anyone involved.

 

[HeavyDutyGuy]

If you haven't been through it, you really have no clue.....

Unfortunately, I think I'm headed that way.

We're going to try counseling, but.........I don't know.....

Why the hell am I telling you guys this?????
