[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was happily married for about 20 years but got divorced at 25 years.  I thought that was a pretty successful marriage, got our kids raised without drama or trauma, but at least one person on DCUM has informed me that you can't call a marriage successful if it ends in divorce at any point.  I disagree, what do you think?[/quote]

Just another DP (not OP).  I would agree if you leave the marriage without rancor.  My brother and his first wife divorced after about 10 years.  They divorced because they had very different views on money.  The first two years were difficult, but then they became committed to doing things for the benefit of the children.  They also realized that once they took money out of the equation that they both remember what they liked and loved about the other.  They were and are very good friends and co-parents.  From that point on, they celebrated holidays together, sometimes took trips together.  They are both remarried and both couples are much happier than the original couple.

I don't think you have to be great friends, but as long as you can maintain a healthy relationship and be around each other peacefully, like at events for your kids, then I would agree with you. [/quote]
