[quote=Anonymous]It's so hard to tell and finances probably complicate things. I'm sure there are tons of couples who want to divorce but can't or are hesitant to because it would really wreak havoc on one or both people's finances or standard of living. For lower income people, the standard remains low; for high income people, it remains high; it's the middle classes who weigh $ more heavily as it has the potential to change things a lot in terms of standard of living and what/how many jobs people must work. We're mid/late 30s and have only seen a few divorces. My DH and I argue a lot, but it's just kind of our way. Yes, much of it is about parenting or $. I can see these things dissolving in ~10 years. That said, I don't think a 2nd kid would have been good for us, so we didn't have one. We are much happier and comfortable with each other than we are socializing in groups. We don't go out a lot as couple, so I can see people thinking we don't do a lot...truth is, we just like being together. [/quote]
