He just refuses to discuss something with any sort of nuance or the ability to consider multiple sides of an issue.

He’s just a little boy who happens to be married with a child and a myopic view of the subject.

Wait till he learns the percentage of kids from divorced families end up in divorce themselves.

There's definitely an element of selfishness behind most divorces.

But I don't think it's fair to say that all divorces are a net negative for the kids involved.

It's like that. You gotta take care of yourself first so you can take care of them immediately following that.

That is an excellent analogy!

Of course, in some cases divorce is the best choice for the children, and in others it’s just a selfish choice by a parent. The OP views this from only one of those perspectives, and some of his responders view it strictly from the other side. That’s what makes both viewpoints look ridiculous.

Can’t understand why people think it’s ok to divorce if there’s infidelity but not if there’s negligence, substance abuse or an ongoing tumultuous situation at home. The latter cases have serious repercussions on the children, the former not so much. I will leave it at that.

I agree. It is because those other things aren’t bruises to the aggrieved party’s ego.

He probably left to get away from you. After reading this thread and your posts, I don't blame him

There are times my kids hate me. There are times I don't really like them. Should I divorce them too?

Correct. My ex wife told me over the phone that she didn't love me anymore. Needless to say, she was having a "texting and emailing" relationship with someone else. We had 2 year old twins at the time. I tried to save the marriage for months and months, but she didn't want to work on it. Long story short - we divorced. I'm now happily married for the last 10 years. Have 50/50 custody of my kids. All is well.

You will have to ask my ex. She said something about "happiness" and "fulfillment" after 26 years and 7 kids.

Why does everything have to be 100% chance?

"Twice as likely to commit suicide"...well that doesn't 100% mean that my kid will, so Bye Fam?

Let your kid drink Flint Michigan water, not all kids get cancer. The money saved on bottle water can go to their college fund, a net benefit if they don't get sick.

Yeah, put your mask on....and then get off the plane.... leaving the child behind. "I'll see you next week, I promise....oh sorry, I'm going to a Kenny Chesney concert. The week after next...I promise! Love ya, I'm going to miss you soon much, bye."

you'd have to ask my ex who is now a "community cultivator" who worships mother gaia, but not welcomed at my daughter's because she will steal all the food in the fridge.

Yes the post was kind of designed for those who left, not the parent who was left.

The same people who left for fighting all the time, are likely the types who got into arguments over issues where they put their needs over their family’s….and the relationship is ‘toxic’ because the other spouse objected to LSU season tickets vs remodeling the kitchen…..”the kitchen is fine the way it is. Plus I got the truck lifted so the nuts wouldn’t drag and making it easier to tailgate, it would be a waste not to use it.”

The whole two sides…you say ask the ex who left….others who left say “it’s complicated, “children are happier because less fighting”, and other justifications for their actions…..followed up with some name calling.

If the truth hurts, that’s on you.

Cop out. Relationships are difficult they have up-and-down just stick with it for the benefit of the child & family , you have a common goal, And most arguments are about one person being selfish ( New purse, new truck, not helping out with chores, living like a slob, etc)

One person usually leaves the relationship.


This is how cuckolding begins.
