Quote from Xeronia

What gets me is that it's almost a 50/50 split in the poll. I guess that I'll have to accept that for some reason, 50% of marriages end in divorce nowadays.

But then, the other 50% end with death if you look at the other side.

Yeah, 50% of marriages end in divorce, but less than fifty percent of people who get married get divorced. Think about it. People who get divorced once often re marry, get divorced, and the marry again. The actual figure is a little less than 25% of people who get divorced.

And, that's only in America.

Technically, no, but since one of my parents has bipolar disorder and has been semi-nuts for most of my life, kind of. Though, when I was little, it used to be my dream to live with just the healthy one.

People nowadays have a disfigured view on marriage,... plus they're too picky. They usually want their counter-part to be 'perfect'.

Nope nope it's just the opposite. They hurry up and get married and only afterwards realize that the just can't live together. I've known more cases like that than I can count.
I'm referring to the woman who got married and divorced 27 times.She's somewhere in the guiness book of records...

My parents managed to beat the stats. They're high school sweathearts who've been married for more than 21 years now. There have been times when my dad's been overseas for long periods of time 'casue he's in the army and it's really hard on my mom when my dad's not there. So, yeah, they're pretty much still in love and still get annoyingly romantic sometimes. I feel pretty lucky 'cause if I had only had one of them, I probably would have exploded. They're both pretty strict, but about different things, so it balances out in the end 'cause when one's being to strict the other talks them out of it.

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

my mom kicked my dad out when i was one ^^
tho i dont know if it considered as a single parent family when i grew up surrounded by my mom's friends, boyfriends and family, and for about 5 years of my life i was raised by my grandmother and her parents while my mom lived in another country >>
she did move in with us when i was 9, and we both moved out 4 years later to live alone, so i guess we are considered as a single parent family now >_> its not like i have any contacts or relations with my other parent.

the best security guard, EVER.

In my case, I have always lived with the 2 of my parents all my life. They have been married for 16 years. And the word that they say the most is :"divorce". They are always fighting about everything, some fights are because of something important but some are stupid. I think it's because they're the opposite in everything, and another factor is that my mom is a person that gets angry very easily. But, even if I have heard the word "divorce" for about 1000 times, I know better than them that they won't divorce, it's far more probable than one of them died before they divorced, because I know the do love each other. Also I don't want them to divorce, because 1.- it will separate the whole family 2.- each one of them is always wrong in something, so when we tell them, they don't want to recognize it, so that's the time where the other parent saves us 😛 .

Also, before my mother married my father, she has told me that because her family was "Jehova's witnesses" they were very strict with her and her mother never spend time with her discussing "female things", so when she got her first boyfriend that person said to my mom that she had to have sex with him, if not, he will leave her. So she did, and know what?! she got pregnant. Then, as always, the guy left her, and because her family was in a poor economic situation, she had to work part time and study, meanwhile her parents took care of the baby. Then she told me they forced her to marry an older man, but because the man was a (let's say) "bad man" she escaped her home and filed for divorce. Then, she met my father, they married ONE MONTH AND A HALF later than when she met him.(one month before my father was going to marry someone else) and the rest is history.

Her story took me years to be able to hear it, because she says the only ones that knew that were her parents and my father, and now me. (well, and the ones that are reading this XD). And she always tell me to pick guys carefully, and that when she married with my dad, it because when she was younger she thought she wasn't worth anything, and that If a man came and proposed even though she had a kid with a difficult illness, ( I'm glad that my father thinks of her as her own daughter.) she would accept. (And I have to say she's very pretty but my father is a bit ugly, but he's tall 🙂 ). She says "I married with a friend, but then I fell in love".

Did you not read my refutation? For shame, making a gross generalization like that.

I'm sorry. 😀 I just have little faith in people in that aspect.

I'm... really not sure what to say. I moved in with my grandparents at the age of four, but I really just live with my MawMaw. My PawPaw did live with us until I was... seven or so, I think, then his job moved and he did, too. He still comes home on the weekends and during his vacation, though. Also, my grandpa (who I'm closer to) spends the days here.

I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

210 days until I'm legal, Indy!

ZombieKing ihas been challenged! Now it's between him, Blissful_wulf and Mamsmilk. And maybe Dr. Love.

Hmmm, hard to say. Even when they were "together", they lived in different houses... (plus there's no divorce in my country, and it's looked down upon). Sometimes it's single parent home, sometimes not... it's on/off thing for a long time.

Well, now it's permanent. I don't mind though. Whatever makes them happy, I guess.

My parents are together.
Although in our case, they should get a divorce...
I see nothing wrong in being divorced. Staying together for the sake of marriage and being unhappy is what bothers me.
Some rush to get married, some just stop getting along...
I have an uncle who's divorced from his mad wife... (she got all religous and became quite crazy, even manipulated their children against him)- another factor as to why I don't like religion.))
Now he's met a nice woman, and they had a child together.

Sometimes it seems to me like children to singe parent homes end up being single parents themselves. Maybe they are afraid to be alone and rush into marriage?~
But I don't know, cause I've never been married. 😳

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

Single parent.

But to be honest, there has always been a boy friend or a step father, so I don't know if that counts. They weren't very father like at all.
