    Being a parent now. I don’t know why so many people “stuck around for the kids”.. even if my husband and I have a small argument, the kids notice. I can’t imagine living in a household with unhappy parents. Very sad but glad she chose to leave! Marriage should be for life but sometimes there are special circumstances

      The entire reason the divorce rate is so high is because of repeat offenders. Most people can make it work, some people can’t make it work with anyone.
      My wife and I have had some major issues; we work through all of it because that’s what a marriage is. In general if you’re the type of person who feels you shouldn’t stay together for the sake of your children, you’re probably too selfish to make a marriage work anyway.

Don't train your child to live in a toxic environment like it's OK and everyone does that. Nah star, life is toooo short to be in a unhappy life.

My uncle did that, now he’s in his 70’s he will die alone. My uncle’s spouse did cheat on him. But he didn’t leave because well the kid. Now the kid is grown up, what is the excuse? They don’t even sleep in the same room!? Don’t stay together just for statistics, stay because you love that person! I wouldn’t want to be in a loveless relationship, it’s not a way to live! But yes try at first, but if both people are done then it’s ok to move on for yourself and for your kid! Tbh I think it’s more selfish to stay because of the kid, seems like an excuse to me.

    • @gregf4416

      Same. Add to that physical and emotional abuse to the mom and the kids. It got so bad that when I was 17 and finally had a car, I heard the smashing and beating begin one night and I came downstairs and told my mother I was leaving and that anyone that wanted to come be ready to go NOW! He came at me and two of my brothers backed me up. We left that night, me, my mom, and 4 of my 5 siblings. Terrifying stuff. Luckily my aunt (bless her soul and tiny house) took us in and the divorce started soon after. There were six children and all of us have been a mess in one or more ways for all of our lives. Two managed to work steady and maintain a semblance of a career. None of us has maintained a stable relationship or family structure - multiple marriages, estranged children, etc. My sister has been institutionalized since 12 years old. She's 57 now. There has been one suicide, all have had bouts with drugs and alcoholism, and two are self-isolated conspiracy theorists living on disability. PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar diagnosis seem to be the common thread. Knowing where we came from, I'm proud that we have been able to hold it together even as poorly as we have and that we haven't done more damage to our own children - except my brother, the one who committed suicide. Me, I just keep trying to get stuff outta my head and make it to another day without giving up. I will never be able to forgive my mom for staying with him and having more kids with him knowing what he was. The only good thing is that he killed himself as well a few years after the divorce. Needless to say, family reunions are pretty much nonexistent. No good parent would put their kids through that and unfortunately to be a parent you don't have to be good at it, or even competent. If parenting were piloting, no one would take a chance on flying.

      ​@@gregf4416I'm so sorry for what you went through. I was reading the comments and feeling lousy. So many of them say to stay married for the kids and be selfless. I left an abusive marriage, and my 2 kids are with me (single mom) most of the time. They don't see their dad as much. My 9-year-old son gets so sad about it, but I follow my instinct, keep the custody schedule as is, and give him lots of hugs. He has a counselor, but it's not the same as more time with his dad. You took on a lot standing up to someone who, no matter how old you were, was the adult when you were the kid. You're right. Your mom should have protected you so that you didn't have to be the kid protecting the family.

      That's a fine line. Be careful of using that rationalization because I can tell you children of divorce can be really messed up and sometimes blame themselves for what happened ...not fair to them at all.
      Abusive is one thing. But "unhappy" is just a part of being alive and having a range of emotions. Sometimes that sucks. Welcome to life. MOST relationships -not all - but often if you put in the work you will find you can create a kind of true happiness that feels rewarding and fulfilling. Expecting to feel over the moon "in love" forever is not to be expected.
      Gosh I am glad my relationship doesn't have the added pressure of fame ...

    I’m middle aged and all the marriages I’ve seen that are 60+ years going all admit they literally hated each other for at least a decade but they stuck it out and grew back together into a content and happy marriages. A decade is a long time to wait it out for some. I remember my best friend coming to us twice in childhood saying her parents were divorcing (they never did) and they are so happy they stuck through because they came back together. But divorce is absolutely the right choice for some. It depends on the individuals. Abuse should always be divorced

      Life is how you create it. Some people stay together regardless of the obstacles they face and some don't and choose a better path for themselves by moving on as in being single or with a partner. So it's ok to have had an experience in marriage with someone and it's ok to move on from that as well and be happy about it and knowing that you still have to live your life just the way you want to while you're still alive😊 Either way being single or partnered, you still have to live your life the way you want and love & appreciate yourself so you'll have a happy life this time round.😊

      It's a gamble and if you are putting in the effort and working on yourself but your partner is not or isn't interested, then you're essentially betting on potential and wasting your life. I've seen people wait it out for years and years decades without any improvement or connection. They are married in name only. That's a pity. Marriage is an important part of life for who are married but it is only one part. Truth is very few marriages 'grow back together into a content and happy marriages'. Most just drag it out for the sake of children, religious conditioning, social status etc.

    Never asked how I was feeling. Never said I could count on her.

      I'm sorry your mom wasn't supportive. That was just wrong. My mom was like that, chastising me about my breakup with my HS boyfriend. Years later, we somehow got to talking about it and I said, "When J broke up with me..." My mom said, "Wait, what? I thought you broke up with him!" All that time she thought I had carelessly discarded him; maybe because I put on a brave face and didn't fall to pieces. We were going off to different colleges, so I figured that it would've been difficult to keep the relationship going and perhaps it was best that we move on. I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Keep living your best life!

But clearly she loved him enough to not leave him immediately when she found out about his lies.

    I'm an adult now but was a kid of parents who divorced later when we were all 18. I can say that although we appreciated my parents sucking it up until we got old enough, I wished they had gotten divorced earlier when we were younger and they were younger. It was never a broken home compared to others, but we knew our parents weren't always happy. We all turned 18(i, youngest), oldest was 23, we had all moved out, and my parents decided to divorce. We all suported but knew which parent would have gotten the short end of the stick. We all applauded them for sticking it out this long. My parents were both trying to date around, and you just see how limited their options are. My dad passed shortly after the divorce due to previous health issues. My mom is only 47, but shes a traditional and conservative little asian lady but is very independent and still craves for companionship because that's what humans yearn for eventually when they get older. A part of me always wonders if my parents' lives would've been different if they had just been a little selfish and divorced earlier. They both might've found someone and been happier, and maybe my dad may not have passed away. I've always wondered about those stuff. I recently got married and I always jokingly tell my husband, I dont plan on getting married ever again but if we cant make this work or if we're unhappy, you bet ill be leaving your butt. Because i damn well would prefer being old, single but happy with my dog than always fighting and being miserable as we grow old together. I'd like to say he has taken my advice quite well so far, lol.
