[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that marrying a quality person and being a thoughtful spouse has a 100% success rate. There are no people on either side of the family that are divorced. [/quote]

You sound smug. And like you haven’t been humbled by life. [/quote]

LOL why is staying married and being a quality person considered smug and superiority complex?? Very weird. I would say it's quite a feat and everyone should be proud to manage all the challenges and weather all the storms with their significant other through the years.[/quote]

Because you’re making the classic human mistake that your positive situation is 100% due to your actions. And it’s not. And makes you think you have full control and therefore bad stuff will not happen to you. It’s called hubris and many Greek tragedies have covered it.[/quote]

Divorce isn’t something that just happens to the vast majority of married couple.  It’s an active choice.[/quote]

So if you knew about a marriage with: extreme infidelity, criminal activity, no-longer masked mental health issues that cause awful outbursts in front of the kids for years, physical abuse—you’d argue that it’s still a choice? [/quote]

Do you understand the English language?

“Vast majority” =/= “All”

Obviously there are SOME issues that absolutely SHOULD lead to divorce, but the VAST MAJORITY of couples CHOOSE to divorce because it’s the most convenient choice for one or both partners.[/quote]

Yeah it’s soooo convenient for me that he left me to raise our kid alone!! I am having a blast on those four “free” days a month he takes our kid, as long as he feels like it. It’s great!!!!! (Ha ha just kidding, I have no time to date or have fun, I usually use that time to clean the house and batch cook, but go off I guess)[/quote]
