[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents stayed together "for the children" while we were in middle and high school. Now that I'm older (50s) and more distance on it, I can see that it was a choice made with our best interests at heart. They didn't want us to have to change schools or do joint custody. They didn't want the hassle of it all. And they didn't want to sell the house in the 80s recession. Did it kind of suck to see them in a loveless marriage? Sure. But divorce sucks too, in a different way. They were adults and made that choice in the best interest of the family as a whole. They weren't living a lie, they didn't teach us anything bad about marriage. They taught us to be grown-ups and make a mature, considered decision. To get through tough times in a responsible way. After we all left home, they divorced, and I was fine with it.[/quote] +1[/quote]
