re: Changed my divorce opinion

Many women have no concept of right and wrong. They think with their ovaries and nothing else. They certainly don't deserve to be moms.

If women don't deserve to be moms, who does?

Wasn’t it the Gen Xers that normalized divorce?

I can't possibly comprehend how you can do this to your own child

Sometimes the ex leaves you no choice

divorce is brutal, kids always lose

Everyone loses in a divorce. Some are lucky to have a good and faithful partner. Some aren't. You play with the cards you are dealt and move on.

Perhaps counseling should be considered first? Sometimes it takes an outsider to help us see our contributions to the problem.

Nope.
Boomers.
1960s protestor/hippy types rebelling against the "repressed 50s"
"No-fault divorce" started to become the norm in the early 1970s.

Ha! Hell no...in fact, divorce rates are dropping as Gen X begins to take hold. Divorce is yet another wonderfully tragic gift wrought upon by the Boomers.


Fellas, if you want to frick another woman that badly, do yourself a favor and at least explain to your wife what's going on before just sneaking around and dipping out on your entire family. Put it the right way, and given the ugliness of her ignoring your wants, she may just agree to open things up a bit on a temporary basis (assuming it's mutually open). On the other hand, if there is no other woman and you've found yourself having grown apart from your spouse but still have kids, do what you can to talk through the situation or, worse comes to worst, just simply avoid one another at home as much as possible. She does her thing in one room, you do yours in another, and you find a way to play nice in front of the kids when you're in the same room.

Becoming a parent means making personal sacrifices. Pull up your big boy pants and deal with the situation. The stats are UNREAL when looking at the damage done to a kid's future when living in a single-parent household. Your selfishness can LITERALLY doom your child to a shitty future. Man up.

Divorce sucks for the child anyway you slice it. The only thing I’m grateful for is that it happened to me when my daughter was 14 months old. The schedule and lifestyle is all she has ever known, so it isn’t as hard on her as it is for kids who are older when thier parents split.

The main problem is the laws. If it wasn’t so convienient to get a divorce and easy to move forward from one financially it wouldn’t happen as often.

Figure child support based on both parents income at the time of separation, and keep it that way throughout the child’s life. This would solve a lot of the problems

I am 63, lot of friends my age had parents who divorced, the stories of their childhood are really sad. First there was the trauma of their parents divorcing, most of them secretly hoped their parents would get back together only to be knocked down again when one of their parents remarryed. The few whose parents did not remarry while they were children did not give up hope of their parents reconciling until they were well into their 20s
