[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was an enormous relief. I used to have nightmares that they would reconcile. My dad has been divorced 3x.

I am divorced. I think the impact of my parents’ divorce on my marriage was that I saw how much worse it could get and I didn’t want my kids to suffer the way my siblings and I did.

My XH came from a family with no divorces and wanted to stick it out for the kids while he continued wrecking our lives. He remarried and quickly divorced again. His siblings are all unhappily married with unhappy children, but celebrating those milestone anniversaries. All that matters, right?

I also remarried. My 2nd DH also has divorced parents and was divorced from his first wife. His father was also abusive and unfaithful. His first wife was unhappy as a military spouse. She reminds me a lot of one of my dad’s wives. She seems very happy now and did a good job raising my stepson.

DH and I have a lot of good examples of what marriage should not be. So we don’t do those things. [/quote]

You sure you're not just trying to justify your own divorce?  Why does anyone in your family bother getting married?[/quote]
