[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I'm the wife and we were wealthy. I'm glad I got out. I do feel bad for my adult kids. Being divorced is no fun for them. I'm doing great but in hindsight maybe I should have just sucked up being unhappy.

Time will tell. [/quote]

Why exactly are the adult kids unhappy?

Are they getting pulled in two directions? Or feel forced into a relationship with one of their parents where they never had an actual relationship? Is there a step parent and blended family issues that somehow affect them? [/quote]

Really?

My husband’s parents were divorced shortly before we got married, and it’s a huge headache. [/quote]

Why is it a huge headache? Can you pls provide a couple examples?[/quote]

Well, when we were first married and they were newly divorced, they couldn’t be in the same room at the same time, and DH felt that he had to work things out so that they could both be there but not run into each other at events like our wedding, the births of our children, first birthday parties, etc.

Over the years there were a lot of girlfriends/boyfriends.  Some of them were live-in.  There was some conflict about whether or not to introduce this parade of significant others to the kids or have them over to my parents house if my mom and dad were hosting holidays.

When they were older, they needed care.  They probably could have gotten along physically and financially together, but neither could manage alone.

When they died, DH and I had to plan both funerals, extended family from the other side refused to come and mourn, and DH and his brother didn’t have a lot of the support they could have used.
