[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way, this isn't appropriate at all.

There is discernment counseling that can help you decide whether or not to divorce: https://www.familywellnessgroup.com/discernment-marriage-counseling-fairfax-northern-virginia/[/quote]

Thanks! This is helpful. I only asked because a lot of my friends talk about how they wished their parents had divorced. So i thought what if we asked our kids?[/quote]

People who say that don’t know what the counterfactual actually would be.

My parents divorced and remarried, giving me not one but TWO failing marriages to witness up close and personal. Then I got to watch two new divorces! Fun times. [/quote]

This. People love to imagine that if they divorce, life will be better. But nobody ever said "I'm so glad my parents divorced, because they're equally as unhappy in their second marriages. It's totally great to be living in two unhappy homes instead of just one." For some kids it really does work out better, but for some it really doesn't. And the worse your parents' marriage is, the more likely they'll be unhappy in other marriages to. Because wherever you go, there you are.[/quote]
