The more i critically view life issues, i can‘t help but conclude that life can be complicatedly simple and other times, simply complicated!
The need to be with someone, the need to find love is now at it‘s peak. Like two sides of a coin, seperation of two lovers and marital disintegration has become obviously the order of the day.
The trend has somewhat changed. It used to be; “we live to love“, but sadly it is now “we love to live“ situation we have found ourselves in. I may be wrong but the number of those divorce, is gradually outnumbering those that are together. What happened to “ till death do us path“? Some are proud divorcee and many more are working round the clock in an effort to get divorced!
It‘s quite appalling, they fail to realise the effect it has on the children. The question is: why then go through the troubles insearch of love only to find it and sacrifice it on the alter of divorce? This is an open topic. What is your view on divorce? Am open to your contributions to this delicate issue. Xo, keep your contributions rolling!!!!

I think it's over-rated, and over-used. Like the phrase "I love you!". You can just tell, when it's actually mutual, otherwise you're kinda leery about it. I can't tell you how many of my neighbours keep arguing with their divorced other. laugh. It's like World War 3. It just doesn't, or I doubt would ever appeal to me as an easy way out of the marriage. I would keep things civil ANYWAY, and if he was arguementative, I'd probably just ignore it, until he could talk to me in a calm manner.

I think marriage is too easy to get into. I think divorce is a very unfortunate reality resulting most often from 3 things

people not truly knowing each other
people not truly revealing themself to a partner
people confusing a 'new' feeling , a feeling of lust, or a feeling of 'fun',, with LOVE




so, people fall in love with strangers and the person they come to know after is not the person they are able to love

or, they fall in love while putting on a false image of who they are and come to realize after that the person they truly choose to be is not one their partner can love

or they let that 'new' feeling, or that fleeting 'lust', or those 'fun' times dictate who they commit to, and when those feelings pass (and they all come in and out during our life), they move on,,, especially if someone else appears who they begin to have those feelings with instead of their partner


I hate that i am divorced, to be quite honest. It was a decision made after MANY attempts to work through issues, and made with concern for my health (infidelity is now a possible death sentence for all involved) and my childs view of how spouses should treat each other,,,,


To this day, I love my husband though, I just would never be able or willing to conform to his lifestyle or put my children in it.

I believe in divorce for reason of infidelity should the one cheated on, choose to divorce the other spouse. Also in cases of desertion, when a spouse leaves for selfish reasons and does not choose to work out the marriage. Many people get divorced over many different things. However, I believe in marriage and working things out, if at all possible. Often times, One spouse has no options to work the marriage out Alone. Even counseling does not always work to keep a couple together.

I think many take their spouses for granted, their marriage for granted and, yes, even their divorces for granted. ohwell

divorce is something that is an option that is sometimes much needed. But it is overused. I believe it should be a complete separation and I will not date someone who is still involved with an ex. I will not argue with an ex.

I see nothing wrong with loving to live. I think it is as valuable as living to love.

We must first learn to love ourselves and that is a tough road after a divorce. I think many divorces occur because one or both never did learn to love the self so they expected too much from their partner.

Loving to live is simply another way to say happiness. Loving to live includes making healthy choices. Sometimes that does mean divorce.

Divorce is usually bad for children. Unless it gets them out of an abusive environment or something.

Basically, i think love is a compound word with lots of challenges but at the end, it has victory, triumph, success and a host of better reward. Most people i driven by a wrong concept about love and xo it affects their decisions and directions. To some, loving someone is a game and to others, it is essencially fun.
When playtime is over, the reality dawns and the sun of divorce sets in. Marriage is a responsibilty which people should consciously and willingly bare. Sadly enough, marriages of today have been reduced to a mear contract. It has in someway, lost it‘s values. Though i must admit that there are quite some divorce personalities who did their best to ensure that it worked out but others, not so much!

first i will like to start with this saying " if you are not ready don't go into it."
marriage is a sweet institution for everyone that is matured enough. if anyone thinking of separation he or she should better gether all those they invited for their wedding ceremony.

A bad marriage can and does affect children just as negatively as divorce maybe even more so because they have constant exposure to an unhealthy relationship. As an adult I can see the scars that myself and my brothers carry from our parent's marriage and the resentment that we struggle with with the relationship they continue to have.

We all are trying to work on our issues and we are all using different methods but we are united in our determination not to repeat their relationship.

I was taught only in the case of infidelity but I couldn't say until it happened. I would try to do as much as possible until it really put a strain on me as to whether I want to go on living or being severely depressed. Then I would end it.

Divorce sucks.

But that's how it goes sometimes, you don't always have a choice.

For children, divorce still sucks, but they survive. if the parents get along and don;t pull them back and fowards like little yo yo's.

Sadly it's normally because one or both parents think that they are right and don't really think about what is best for the munchkins.

Some say divorce is bad and as such, a last option. Maybe xo but what happened to the love they spoke highly about? Was it that their love wasn‘t strong enough or they grew tired of each other?

I think people look for a way out when one is provided.Divorce is made an option to those who want it to be..my options are patience,counseling,humblings myself,saying sorry(even when I'm right)...I don't think commitment are made with fine print.If so they're not commitments they're contracts.choosing a mate who believes in the same views helps too.

Of course divorce is a bad thing. Nobody enters into a marriage and says to themselves, "Hey! I can't wait to go through that awesome process of a divorce! It's so awesome! Se takes half the stuff, keeps the house and I still have to pay the mortgage on it"! :tongue: laugh
