[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m not a troll. As a side note it’s annoying that whenever anyone tries to have an open conversation here someone calls them a troll.

My grandma worked, but was not wealthy. I don’t think she has any regrets about not divorcing, because she enjoyed the big family that came from her marriage.

I’m not saying others should do the same thing. I was just thinking out loud about the tradeoffs we tend to make today. [/quote]
Did your grandfather continuously cheat throughout their marriage?[/quote]

Not that I’m aware of. Though on a personal level, I would say I don’t think I could tolerate what my Grandfather did if I was in my Grandmother’s shoes. Particularly the fact that she had a new baby would make forgiveness a non-option.

Even though I couldn’t personally move past it, on some level I wish I could. Because I consider my Grandmother to have one in the long run by having a large loving family.[/quote]

NP. I can relate to your feelings, OP. My grandfather was a volatile alcoholic in the early years of my grandparents' marriage. He eventually got sober in his early 40s and became a much better person. By the time I was old enough to remember, their marriage seemed quite happy and they loved spending time with us grandkids as a big happy family. Later, my grandfather was a devoted caregiver when my grandmother developed dementia. In the long run, her decision to stay makes sense, but many people nowadays would say she should have divorced him.[/quote]
