I don't know what to say.

People are actually arguing that divorce is better for society.

I have yet to meet any child of divorced parents that were happy their parents got divorced. More often than not they are confused or mad at them for being divorced.

My ex said before we got divorced that our son saw examples of good divorce so he knows it will be good. He hates the life he is forced to live now. But this is supposedly good for him.

Why is it every child counselor knows that a kid in a divorced home will act out? Why do they do that if they are happy with it? Why is it true of all kids in divorce? Why do kids even need counseling after a divorce if it is good for them?

I said it once before. We as a society are very selfish. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Not happy - leave. What is the point of making an effort to fix the problems in your relationship.

Can anyone that is divorced say they have no regrets of any kind for being divorced? They were happy from day one and never looked back and never were hurt?

Everyone that got married with the intention of being divorced please raise your hands.

"Good times and bad" means you are supposed to work through your difficulties, not run from them.

but there are cases where divorce is best, when someone is being abused is a good one.


People change & sometimes there just isn't a way to work through the difficulties with the other person. Everyone deserves to be happy though, even if it means divorce! When the price of love is too much to bear you are only hurting yourself more by not leaving the relationship.

I never said it was better...it is an option. For some the only option. In a perfect world all marriages would be happy and healthy, all the kiddies would be cherished and grow up and go to college...
la de da la la
our world isn't perfect, far from it..like you said

I have no regrets of any kind from being divorced..still, and it's been 11 years.

What most people don't realize is that when our spouse, partner...leaves us, it really has nothing to do with us...
if ya know what I mean there

I was divorced twice. No children. I would have had children but neither one of my husbands were really into raising a family. The second husband was just an irresponsible abusive gambler. I would have ended up alone raising the children.

My divorces were liberating. I was not very happy married.

That's just me.

I am a naturally happy person. I feel joy. All the time. Even on bad days... I fell the joy of life.

When I was married, the joy was sucked out of me. I can't explain it.

Especially in my second marriage.

My natural joy was sucked out of me, my life was sucked out of me and I was made miserable. No matter what I tried, I could not maintain my happiness or find my joy. I was not meant to be on that path. I was not meant to be married.

Single, I have found my inner joy once again. Its a spiritual thing.

I'm a nun.

Not a Catholic nun, but a spiritual nun. I am complete as I am.

I am meant to be single.

If you'd actually LISTEN, no one is saying marriage is a bad thing. We are just saying that sometimes divorce is unavoidable no matter how much you wanna try and avoid it.

Its only good if you make it good.

I think its only purpose is if two people want to raise a family.
Otherwise they should not get married.

No actually when you are arguing in favor of divorce that is implying marriage is not worth saving. Divorce is better.

If you are getting married and you have no intentions on doing it for the purpose of having children and raising a family, then Marriage is simply a business partnership.

Its about property. Community property.

Its about quid pro quo. I'll take care of you, you take care of me.
I'll support you, you will have sex with me when I want it.
I will work, you can keep house and be my sex kitten.
Or lets both get jobs so we can afford to pay the rent or buy a house.

Business.
A contract with two people and THE STATE.

p.S. THE STATE IS EVIL.

GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MARRIAGE.

Divorce is an option.

It MUST be an option. You can't pass any law that forbids divorce. If you do, people will start killing their spouses.

It's good for some people...lots of people
I enjoyed alot of things about being married
I enjoy alot of things about being single

why do you think if a marriage ends it has to be a bad thing
just because it ends doesn't have to mean failure
that's just society's take on it, doesn't mean it's the truth
change is inevitable, the only thing we can count on
when one door closes another opens
why is it so hard to look at things this way
we'd all be happier if we could, would....

No I am not, don't put words in my mouth. I am simply saying that sometimes it will happen, flat out. It can't always be avoided.

I think he's just feeling all alone. flowerforyou

Just because he thinks marriage is a good thing and divorce is a bad thing that does not mean everyone should agree with that. I don't know where the thinking that divorce is bad or sinful came from.

Oh yeh.... the Church. Particularly the Catholic Church.

Some marriages are not worth saving, and in those cases, divorce is the better option!

Its the woman's fault.

You gave her the right to vote and now she wants her independence!

She wants freedom from the labors of child birth and being told what to do and what to think by a man.

BRAVO FOR THE AMERICAN WOMAN! drinker :banana: :banana:

By putting man back together again.



Putting man "back" together again?

If we look back over history there doesn't appear to have ever been a time when he had his act together.

In the days of Jesus they were crucifying people on poles. Shortly after that they were burning down libraries in the name of a man they had previously crucified on a pole.

Not long after that they were pillaging and raping in the name of the same crucified man. Then they were torturing and burning midwives in the name of the same crucified man.

Gee whiz, I'd say we've come a long way from that. We don't want to go "back" and start repeating those kinds of atrocities.

I'd say that modern man is quite a bit better than humans used to be. Sure, today there are still radicals who crash planes into buildings or blow people up. But even those people are doing their atrocities in the name of religions and "God".

So let's not incite anyone to go 'Backward'. Let's just keep plugging along and getting BETTER as we have been doing all along.

In fact, as a species we're about to see religion disappear very soon. And that will be the BEST THING that mankind had ever done.
