[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Happily married. No divorce in my family on either side.

Big extended family(aunts, uncles, etc). No divorce either.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the marriages are perfect. [b]I think there is a culture of letting go a lot of shit for the sake of keeping the family together. Because divorce as an option is usually a lot worse.[/b][/quote]

I think this is absolutely true.  For most marriages, one person usually compromises a lot more (usually the woman) during stressful years of child rearing and the marriage remains intact. Sometimes though [b]people hang on to a marriage not realizing that the spouse is an absolute psychopath and that is tragic[/b].[/quote]

This was me. Fifteen years of marriage, three more years during the divorce process, plus I guess three years of dating before marriage. I wasted the best years of my life suffering, married to my ex-husband.

I'm from a family with no divorces. Three siblings, all happily married. Parents married for more than fifty years. Eighteen cousins, all still married to their spouses. All my friends from high school are still married. My college friends are a mix though.

Sadly, my ex is a sociopath, really.

The good news is that this time I'm getting married again to an honest, kind man. This time he had to jump through hoops to prove himself to me and everyone else. I hope that we can be good role models re: healthy relationship for my teens.
