[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it's helpful to know about someone's family but what you describe does not always hold true. Two of the best guys I know have terrible families and some totally selfish a-holes have great families.[/quote]

Divorce in the family tells me when th going gets tough going is an option.  Solid marriages mean when the going gets tough they stick through the tough times.  This is important to me.[/quote]

Most women choose to stay with cheaters. So, you may very walk into someone whose mother chose to stay not because the marriage is strong but because the woman like most women choose to stay with a cheater.[/quote]
Agreed. I personally don't use divorced parents as a litmus test, because I'd far rather a divorced family than a rug-sweeping cheating one. PP says "when the going gets tough they stick through it". I'd rather my man not be the cause of the going getting tough, and you'd better believe I am not staying with someone causing the issues. If your man is the cause of the going getting tough and you choose to stick it out, you're only hurting yourself. [/quote]

Oh, we definitely have a difference in “tough” definitions. I meant tough decisions about jobs, where to live, where to put your kids in school - sometimes what milk to buy. These things cause arguments that can be tough.  I’ve never made a choice that put me in your type of “tough” situation. Nor have I seen a man in my family or extended family be abusive, drug addicted, or cheat!  I’m so sorry for you that this is your baseline and your head went there.[/quote]
Oh for sure. I am just noting that if HE is the problem I think having divorce as an out is incredibly helpful. I would agree that if someone divorces over what milk to buy they shouldn't be in a marriage anyways. [/quote]

I knew a couple who argued about literally everything. That’s why I threw the milk in there - I remember a heated argument about skim vs 2%![/quote]
