    im not trying to win anything, i believe what im saying. and i am enjoying this because i do actually enjoy talking to people and learning different views to my own. if you wanna take that as being an “eprick” then fine. thats your perogative. i know who i am and who im not. geting back to the point, divorce is about freedom and liberty. its a completely personal choice and we are in no position to judge anyone else for their actions. thats my opinion and know i want to hear yours. ok? cool

    Like I said, every family is different. Staying together and trying to make it work can be possible with both cooperating spouses. Likewise, it can be somewhat impossible for other situations. Even the children realize something is wrong (screaming mommy) and the children ask about it and it does help when one of the spouses can be honest with their children and answer their questions as forth right as possible.

    Our children did say they still want to be as married adults when they grow up but maybe have a longer engagement time to make their choices sure. Talk about children learning how relationships work through their experiences at home. My wife have been demanding a divorce during our entire 18 yrs together. I’d reply sweetly “okay, but what about my company sponsered health, dental and eye benefits for the whole family if you want me to leave?” She’d change her mind, until next time. 8 ^ )

    Communication and honesty is the key. Children are not stupid. We weren’t either when we were kids. The teenagers do know and ask about it. Then I answer their questions truthfully. I don’t try to completely hide everything. Fate should have it: sometimes they don’t like their mother and I have to remind them all the things their mother did for them. I encourage them to respect their mother and to be patient until they come of age to make their own choices when they are on their own.

    Exactly. Married couples have better standards of living than singles. Just because you may not “love” each other anymore, that’s no reason to not peacefully co-exist for the greater good.

    fuck communication and honesty if youve thought about a divorce and its come to that divorce staying together for the kids lets the kids see you unhappy or fighting. divorce but dont try to interfere with visitation and let each other be a parent but do not stay together it will ruin relationships with the kids if you dont

    It is the society. We treat divorse as a way of life, in the media, britney gets like 8 divorses geez. If you dont feel that the marrage will last forever dont get married at all. I used to live in asia where the parenting is much different, parents treat their kids with love and affection and the kids give it back, over here try to ask something for the kids they say FUCK YOU to the parents. Over 3/4 of my friends have a divorsed family and it looks like their future isnt too bright.

    i agree.

    good job.

    like the female host jen, i also have 2 daughters from a previous marriage. i felt trapped in a miserable, loveless marriage.

    i’m now in love with a beautiful girl and my girls will be better off in the long run because we are longer in a disfunctional relationship.
