[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't know why people divorced. People are embarrassed about being abused. They may not think it's your business. They may think it's in the best interest of their kids to not share what happened. [/quote]

People have repeatedly said this doesn't apply in cases of abuse, end of story. It doesn't matter what I know. OP and others are making the argument that ABSENT any abuse, there is a strong argument for staying together "for the sake of the kids" so that your kids get the benefit of a two-parent, married household, which many studies have shown is ultimately better for the development of children.  Sure, there may be exceptions. Exceptions make the rule. In most cases, the kids are probably better off if the parents find a way to work through non-abuse issues and stick it out at least until the kids are grown.[/quote]

But what do you qualify as abuse? Obviously hitting, [b]screaming, cursing[/b], but what about the people who post that their spouse refuses to help around the house? Stays up until the early hours gaming and then won't lift a finger at home even though they both work? Do you think those people aren't trying to work it out? One side is, the other side doesn't care. And by the way, I'm not one of those people, but I feel for them.[/quote]

I think the "just stick it out" posters would think that verbal abuse, screaming, and cursing can just be "talked out" with enough committment.  [/quote]
