[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 21 years of marriage, she and Angelo are calling it quits. Daughter started college two years ago. [b]Bummer.[/b] [/quote]

Why?  It is better to be happy than married forever but, not happy, don't ya think?[/quote]

They successfully raised their child together, she’s an adult now.  Maybe they want different things I. Their empty nest stage of life.  I think 21 years is something to be celebrated.  Why stay together just because?[/quote]

I would consider it a successful marriage. [/quote]

This is so sad. I would consider a successful marriage one where you want to stay married to the person after raising kids and move onto the next stage together. Because you still like each other.

When I’m old, I want to sit next to my person and say remember when we went to … [/quote]

I agree with you.  Can someone explain the dynamic of getting divorced when the kids leave home? So many celebrities do this. Off the top of my head I can think of Marg Helgenberger, Christiane Amanpor, and Jennifer Grey.  They all filed for divorce when their kid graduated high school.  Is the point of this that you are just too lazy to file for divorce when your kid is in school? Or you really don't understand that you have nothing in common anymore until the kid leaves?

I have been married for a long time but don't have kids. I understand everyone has good and bad days with their SO, but I don't understand how you just flip a switch when your kid leaves home.[/quote]

You describe avoiding uprooting your kids’ lives by divorcing as ‘lazy’?  People grow apart- I don’t judge the decision either way but staying together for a few extra years so your kids can have one home isn’t lazy.  You seem judgemental because you are unable to respect complexities in relationships.  It isn’t a ‘switch’ that goes off when your kid leaves.  [/quote]

OK.  I am asking why people suddenly decide to get divorced when their kids leave home. No need to be a jerk.

Do you think kids suddenly won't feel bad about their parents' divorce because they are in college.  Delulu.[/quote]

NP. The PP is saying there’s nothing “suddenly” about it. Not sure why you overuse the word. It’s a slow burn and the decision is made when the kids are launched and their daily lives won’t be as impacted. Not that they aren’t impacted at all, but less so in daily living. Why is this so complicated to understand? [/quote]
