[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both had this.  In my case, YES I RESENT IT because they fought like cats and dogs, treated each other horribly, threatened each other and the tension in our household was very thick.  In my husband's case, [b]YES HE RESENTS IT because he was completely unaware that they were unhappy, he always felt that they had a perfect marriage and it was completely disillusioning to him that they were faking it all along and he was completely blindsided and devastated by the breakup when he was in his 20's.[/b]

I have a good friend who feels much like your husband does about her parents who divorced when we were in our early 20s. I don't think she thought they had the "perfect marriage" but she did think they had a strong marriage & loved each other. Finding out that one of her parents hadn't loved the ohter in quite some time & that the marriage was really an unhappy one made her question her own instincts, created trust issues, & made her feel like her childhood was, in some ways, a lie. She also resented the fact that one of her parents spent much of her childhood/adolescence counting down the days until she & her sibling were grown so the marriage could end.[/quote]
