[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Financial damage

Kids being really angry and upset (don't count on "resilience")

Losing half your time with your grandchildren, forever

Kids having a harder time caring for you and your ex separately when you are really old

Ex having more kids with new wife and ignoring your kids and not being able to afford his share of your kids' costs

Unhelpful help from in-laws is really not that bad compared to how bad these things can get.

This list is only some people’s experience. Mine is not like this.

1. There is some financial loss. It is not massive damage. I worked the entire marriage. The loss there is is worth it.
2. I could care less if I have grandchildren or not. I do not like holidays. He can have them. 
3. Kids are fine. There is adjustment. There are worse things than divorce (my childhood was much much worse with married parents with serious issues)
4. My ex nor I are not remarrying. No need. In our 40s.
5. We never had help from in laws. We do not like each other’s family. Divorce is fantastic in this regard. I no longer have to see them. Yay!

That sounds miserable. [/quote]

1. That's what divorced people tell themselves.  Being a child of divorce is a lifelong state and problems can arise later even if you believe the kids are fine now.

4.  Not yet, you mean.[/quote]

PP here.

1. My kids are financially set. The divorce did not impact them at all. They have an extra house. They still have too much. No setback for them. 
4. I will never remarry. There is a 1% chance my ex will. Highly unlikely. IF it ever happens, kids will be almost or fully adults. No interest in marriage for either me or my ex. It is not something either of us ever want to do again.

The men ALWAYS eventually remarry.  I can’t even find one divorced man that did not eventually remarry—-even the old ones!!!  I find it not to be true with the women though-many never re-marry.[/quote]
