re: Is divorce now a group decision?

They all watched the movie bad moms and feel empowered to live for themselves. Bunch of selfish people

Need pics to properly assess situation

Two Fridays ago I'm out with some friends and I run into three buddies I hadn't seen in sometime, one of whom used to train at my gym and I knew his wife and kids. I asked how the family was doing and he replied "The kids are good but I got divorced last year". I was stunned and asked if it was amicable and he said "No, but I kept the house" and mumbled a few other things. A few days later I see a good friend of his in the gym and said I was shocked to hear he got a divorce. His response was "The same thing that happened to him happened to me, but six months apart". I asked what that was and he replied that both of their wives had affairs. Damn.

Had lunch with a college buddy two weeks ago, salt of the earth type. Heard through the grapevine there were marital issues (married nine years, he got married at 45 and no kids together but she has a daughter from her first marriage). He starts of by telling me they are divorcing but it's amicable. Her choice, not his and he's heartsick. He makes good $, his parents are loaded and hers are well off. When he met her about 13 years she was getting $120K/yearly combined alimony & child support but also had credit card bills of $5-6K monthly, and this was a on a Montessori school teacher salary and he was understandably spooked.

He was getting pressure from his mom and both her parents (she's a spoiled daddy's girl) to get married and caved. I warned him to get a prenup but he was too chickenshit to ask for one. They get married and the alimony goes away but not the credit card bills and he tries to reign her in. Now decides she doesn't want to be married but is going after half of his pension and retirement accounts that he accrued at a job he held for 20 yrs and left way before he met her. Amicable my arse. As far as he knows no other guy is in the picture.

Its the internet era... They saw that handsome men in their area are ready to meet them.

Think i’ll Stay single

three women, all of whom I know and all of whom are friends with each other, have separated from their husbands with intent to divorce.

Met up with a cousin's wife and good friend who were in town for Mardi Gras last week to have lunch. Within 15 minutes of meeting the friend, she is telling me how she just got divorced AND how her friend needs to divorce my cousin. Then she goes on and on about the subject for the rest of the day. My cousin may be a shitty husband (they live out of state and I really don't know) but it was beyond strange how interested the friend was in getting her to go for a divorce as well.

I definitely think these chicks like to marry and divorce in groups.

Somewhere along the way society convinced women they deserved to be happy and feel special their entire lives.

My ex-SIL did this. My brother is solid, a stand-up guy and a dead ringer for a George Clooney, but his wife got man made tits and decided being a sloot was more important than her family. She's gone through three MORE marriages since then as the men all kick her out. It's really sad that some women put so little effort into building a home these days.
