[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly, we all had parents that never divorced. [/quote]

This has far more to do with it than anything else, and is an accident of birth, so you can quit patting yourself on the back for the graduate degree that you earned that you think confers a stable marriage.[/quote]

bitter much?  I'm not that PP but it's well-known that higher education levels are related to lower instances of divorce.[/quote]

[b]New poster. Practically everyone I know around here who is divorced is an attorney or married to one. I was myself, and I divorced, even though my parents are still happily married.

I think the bigger trend is that people stay together because one partner works and the other does not. And the wife who doesn't work is TERRIFIED of going out in the real world and starting over and having to work in some crappy job because she hasn't been in the workforce for 20 years. And then she'll have to give up the house, the club, the private schools, the SUVs. It's scary. And so she puts up with a terrible marriage and infidelity. And she stuffs it down and pretends everything is okay to her friends. [/b]

And half her friends are doing the same.

So, no pats on the back for these people, but some sympathy. It takes courage to leave sometimes. It's not really some badge of honor to stay in a bad marriage, esp. when kids are involved. Until I was divorced, I thought everyone around me had a perfect marriage. Now I know better because so many people have confided in me.
