Well, since you’re one of them, why don’t you tell us if you were influenced to divorce your wife due to thoughts or feelings about your parents?

My parents are still together. My ex wife’s parents are still together. But we aren’t.

Each couple’s story is different. I will say, I got married believing I was committed for life. I think she felt the same way. But we grew apart, we took each other for granted, we saw different paths in life.

Breaking the news to our parents really sucked. We disappointed two families.

Wasn't me. She initiated the separation and she initiated the divorce.

My dad was having serious medical issues when we separated and divorced, and I didn't burden him with my issue. He just knows, although we have never spoken about it. My mom has dementia and only recalls memories from a long time ago, even preceding my birth. There is a blessing in that, as strange as that may sound.

My grandparents were married for 40+ years and the other side was married for 50+. My parents were married for 40+ before my father passed. I'm a divorcee and while I never heard the shame to my face, I'm sure there was judgement said behind my/ our backs. Oh well

And the only one of my 2 other siblings to have divorced

It’s so easy to grow apart. I think everyone including me should try harder to grow together instead of apart. I’m very guilty of this myself. We see the world we live in everyday become worse because it’s easier to have an abortion instead of being responsible and it’s easier to get a divorce because we’d rather not try and work on the marriage.
