re: Did you grow up without divorced parents?

That’s a good run. Provided my dad and mom don’t enter the spirit world before 11/23/2020 it will be 55 years. Hasn’t been perfect but by the Grace of God they go on.

Nope mine divorced when I was around 7/8.

I made a vow to myself that I’d marry the right girl and always be there for my kids (unlike my father). So far so good, it’ll be 12 years we’re married this year and my kids don’t hate me. (I think)

Both my wife and my parents were divorced. Both of our fathers met others and were unhappy, with my father getting divorced again. We still got married.

I don’t know. Maybe we still got married because we talk about problems first before they snowball and get big? Maybe because we have sex at least a few times a week including blowjobs even while pregnant? Or maybe we just learned from out a-hole parents and didn’t commit to someone just because. We waited 7 years to get married.

Is it weird I have no idea how many years my parents have been married?

I just know the year they were married (a year before my brother was born) and do the math. I knew about my grandparents because my grandpa just passed away last year and there was a comment made that they were married for 65 years. I knew about my in-laws because they were married the year I was born and they made that comment recently.

So basically, no it’s not weird that you don’t know, as I only know the years for those people because comments were either made recently, or I have a point of reference.

i think it's pretty weird to have no idea how long your parents were together before you were born

4 when they split up. Papa was a rolling stone

Parents were married 47yrs before my dad passed away

My dad’s parents were married until my grandfather (dad’s side) was killed when I was 3. He was 57. Grandmother never remarried.

My mom’s parents were married for 60 or 65 years.

My wife’s parents are still married
Her dad’s dad passed away a few months after my dad. Her grandmother passed away a few weeks ago.

Her. mom’s parents are both still alive and married.
My brother and my SIL were married for just shy of 24 yrs before he passed away.

My wife is an only child.

My wife and I have been married for 24 years.

Yep, parents have been married 50+ years. My dad always says he could have killed her and been out by now, ha. He has lived at their place at the beach for the last 10 years so only has to deal with her 2 weeks out of the month when she is there

My best friend's parents just got divorced at 68 & 67. They were married for over 45 years and have 4 kids.

And I have no idea why this is funny to me.

So many thoughts, like "why did it take them 45 years to figure out they hated each other" and "they made it this far, why not just ride it out til the end" and "where do divorced 60-somethings go to hook up with someone new" and "how in the hell are they going to divide 45 years worth of shite 50-50"

My parents were married 52 years. I’m not sure why.
They were not well suited to each other. She was a war bride. Dad came back to get her before going to OCS at Quantico. No one knows how they met or why they got married. Also found out after they had passed that my Dad fooled around on my mom.. a lot
I even met one of his side pieces but didn’t know it.
Turned out Dad was a player. He sure didn’t pass any of those skills down to me. LOL
