[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex husband told me once while we were dating that he had concerns about dating me because I was “a child of divorce.” He was very proud that his parents had been married for x number of years (I can’t remember how many). He had multiple affairs while we were married and left me after 2 years. So…[/quote]

Oh, hello. Similar story here. My exH never said anything about dating children of divorce, but both his parents and my parents are still married. He turned out to be a narcissistic sociopath who was abusive in many ways who lived a double life and was a prolific cheater. Left me when I was pregnant with our DC (was having an affair then too, unbeknownst to me), then came back and pretended to work on our marriage/go to counseling, etc, all while still cheating. Long story short, I filed for divorce when I found out (and then discovered even more during the divorce). I realized over the years that his parents have a horrible marriage (and tons of toxic dysfunction in his family). But there's no shortage of bragging about how long his parents have been married. And then there was the 50th anniversary party that was plastered on social media... All a big, fat lie.

I am so glad I filed for divorce when my DC was just over 1 yo and got DC the hell out of that mess, so DC won't grow up with that as an example. I am stopping the cycle.
