[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of people saying the fiancé is wrong and trying to make themselves feel better since they are the children of divorce or justifying the fact their children are now products of divorce.[/quote]

I am happily married for 30 yrs and most of my friends are also happily married. We all have come from intact marriages and our life is drama free as far as broken families are concerned.  I would never want my kids to marry children of broken families. However, what can you do if they find a person who is a product of such a home? No one knows what happens in the future.   I keep telling my kids to not rush into having kids. Marry a person and really evaluate them for a few years to determine if they will be good parents. Don't bring kids into the world and then divorce. You cannot get along with a person then you should divorce them before having kids. [/quote]
I followed all of this advice. Our two sets of parents are both still together after more than 50 years. My husband was a real family man and a very devoted father until his midlife crisis. Then it was like a switch flipped. He decided that having a career and kids and only one sexual partner was boring. He left so he could live like a 20 something, childless bachelor. Sometimes you do everything right and still end up with a spouse who just doesn’t want to be married anymore. You should do everything in your power to have a happy marriage — but also know that some things are beyond your control.[/quote]

I'm willing to bet there were signs all along.[/quote]
