[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you are worried that someone else's divorce might end your marriage, your marriage is probably on the rocks already.[/quote]

You seem smug.[/quote]

I don't think it sounds smug, and I've never been married. Actually, that's kind of my point. Our entire group of best girlfriends formed when 1 was divorced, 1 was married (but it was getting rocky, they wound up getting divorced ) and 2 of us were single, never-married. Now, 10 years later, the 2 divorced  ones are remarried, the other never-married got married this summer, and I'm still single.

Had group-think really been a problem, the first one to marry never would have done it when the other 3 of us were still single and free-wheeling (and we were, completely- none of us were even in serious relationships at that point). And I should be panicking now, because I'm the last single one, if that were the case. It's not. We're a group of individuals who happen to be extremely close with each other - we're also strong-minded, self-aware  adults who have made the best choices for our own individual situations.

I do think that divorce can be "catching" but only amongst people who were already unhappy in their marriage. If people aren't, and they do it anyway, they are immature sheeple. [/quote]
