OPINIONS ON DIVORCE-edited

I hope no one will be upset that I included their opinions here. I always wonder if it is better to include names or not. I haven’t. If you are upset I am sorry. Please let me know.
I think your opinions are so important to the younger generation.

People my age don’t take marriage seriously… it’s sad, really. 🙁

It is much easier to get married than it is to get divorced. I haven’t been divorced, but I have witnessed many of them. I’m sure anyone who is mature enough to consider marriage would be mature enough to realize that divorce is a very costly option, both financially and emotionally…even without kids involved.

Sad to hear that marriage is being taken so lightly. And you are right NOT WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS! Divorce is awful on the children, I know first hand.

I do feel that people think it is easy to get divorced and no big deal anymore. What they do not see is the emotional devastation that divorce brings. Tell your daughter that I have been divorced for a year and a half and I am STILL not over it nor are my kids. I personally think that getting married too young is a big mistake these days. People are living longer, I could not imagine being with the same person for 50 or 60 years! Of course that won’t happen to me now but I am never going to get married again anyway. I could not take that heartache again. It would finish me off.

You gave good advice, but kids usually do whatever they want to do anyway, alas. People should not get married if they have any doubts whatsoever. That would mean a lot fewer people getting married! But it would also mean fewer getting divorced, I reckon.

I suspect that it may look to young people like you can just get married and divorced, but when it comes down to it, it is VERY painful. I would not want a life with that much pain. Besides pain, there is a lot of financial loss for everybody. You are so right to advise her to tell her friend NOT to get married now.

marriage should be considered a permanent committment unless unforeseen circumstances happen, but to go into it with reservations is not a good idea. If the fiance is so extreme in his religious views that could create major issues…I do hope they think it through properly first.

Marriages are too emotionally disposable these days.

It’s tough to say what’s better…staying married because you HAVE kids and letting them see all the discord and who knows what else, or getting a divorce. For me, it meant no more physical abuse. Life sudddenly became peaceful and serene. Yes, it was tough. But worth it. I didn’t go into marraige thinking it would end that way, but I have to tell you, 11 years later I was grateful there was an out.

OPINIONS ON DIVORCE
I agree.. but as so often happens it seems that people have to learn by their own mistakes.. trouble is they cant adopt that attitude when there is a likelihood of children being involved..

RYN: All my friends seem to be part of couples or married.. going out with them feels like being the spare wheel…. Sigh… I need to find more singles but when i do they all seem to be only interested in nightclubs etc., .. But thanks for the suggestion.. I will keep looking..

OPINIONS ON DIVORCE
Sometimes I think that people today take marriage lightly and do not think much about divorcing. I always wanted a marriage to last forever, did not turn out that way. My first marriage lasted 21 yrs, and he left me for another woman. Second marriage lasted 3 yrs, but I got out with my life, he was so abusive her almost killed me a few times. Got tired of being beaten. Third time, he started drinking and beat me so it lasted 18 months. Not sure I want to get married again, I will be 60 in a couple weeks so think I would rather stay single and enjoy my grandchildren. Love,

(c) that you should only think about yourself and if you don’t like it get out of it. That holds true for divoraces as well. people start thinking of themselves and getting greedy and they drag the proceedings out throwing children in the middle using them as barganing pieces. I’m glad my parents are together and taught me through example that during good and bad you can make it work.

OPINIONS ON DIVORCE
People have the wrong idea about marriage they think its going to be love and sex and romance and everything it is at the beginning of a relationship. No one ever thinks its going to be hard and people will cry and feelings will get hurt. So when fights arise everyone just says lets get a divorace. I think it speaks poorly to our children. We are telling them that a family is not important.

I don’t mind at all. I tell my daughters ALL the time not to rush into marriage like I did. I hope they listen but as you well know, many times they do what they want anyway. I just hope they can learn from my mistake!

It’s sad that kids think that it’s so easy to get married then divorced, little do they realize the emotional part that goes with divorce, especially if there are kids involved. It’s too easy for divorce sometimes. I hope that girl doesn’t get married either, sounds like they aren’t ready for it.
