[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you are worried that someone else's divorce might end your marriage, your marriage is probably on the rocks already.[/quote]

You seem smug.[/quote]

I don't think it sounds smug, and I've never been married. Actually, that's kind of my point. Our entire group of best girlfriends formed when 1 was divorced, 1 was married (but it was getting rocky, they wound up getting divorced ) and 2 of us were single, never-married. Now, 10 years later, the 2 divorced  ones are remarried, the other never-married got married this summer, and I'm still single.

Had group-think really been a problem, the first one to marry never would have done it when the other 3 of us were still single and free-wheeling (and we were, completely- none of us were even in serious relationships at that point). And I should be panicking now, because I'm the last single one, if that were the case. It's not. We're a group of individuals who happen to be extremely close with each other - we're also strong-minded, self-aware  adults who have made the best choices for our own individual situations.

I do think that divorce can be "catching" but only amongst people who were already unhappy in their marriage. If people aren't, and they do it anyway, they are immature sheeple. [/quote]

So basically none of your friend group is capable of finding and holding on to a loving responsible partner and working with them to raise 2+ kids.  And your probably all highly educated.

This is a harbinger of civilizational  collapse, honestly.[/quote]

Not the poster but I love the reading comprehension.  There is another half of the divorced couple that is part of the equation to making the first marriage work.  I’m also seeing a group that has showed loyalty and caring towards each other when their situations were different and allowed for each other to make different choices (divorce, remarrry, single, engaged) and support each other.  If anything I think civilization needs more of that.[/quote]
