a generation of lost children
And truthfully there is a silver lining to when parents get divorced during a kid's childhood, overall it's bad but it prepares them for life in certain ways. A lot of my friends who grew up in picture perfect American households handle adversity horribly because they didn't have any of it growing up. If a kid goes through a divorce early on in childhood but late enough to understand what divorce is, he/she usually learns that stuff doesn't always work out as well as one would hope.
I'm guessing this is straight BS from a social science perspective. It certainly is from a common sense point of view.
Children in a stable and loving committed family situation are more equipped to deal with life's obstacles and problems IMO. For example, look at the damage divorce often causes to the extended family relations. These relations are critical to a child's development.
Congratulations & welcome to freedom!!! The first divorce is the hardest, the second one is a piece of cake!!!Gave the signed papers to my lawyer yesterday. He promptly delivered them to the courthouse. Will be official in a month.
What a freaking load off my mind!
Parents are overrated. I think they do more damage than good in a lot of cases.
You must have missed the "overall bad" part. Divorce s up a child's development in many ways as you said, but it's my view that divorce helps kids out in certain ways. Again, the negatives far outweigh the positives, and I only think this silver lining occurs for a certain age range, I'm just basing it off what I've seen as someone who went through a really ty divorce as a kid and knows a good mix of people who have/don't have divorced parents.
We're alike, you and meMy parents officially divorced when I was eight. Is this going to turn into one of those threads?
Except I don't like the Ann Frank loving .
Mine broke up when I was 5. My mom was a crazy . Better off without those.
I think when a kid grows up with a dad who makes a good living and a mom who can stay at home, pick the kid up from school everyday, attend every PTA meeting, inflate the kids' self esteem whenever he/she needs it, and has cookies made everyday the kid is done with school (exaggeration but you get my point), it gives the kid a false sense that life is perfect and nothing will ever go wrong. There are countless cases of people I know who grew up like this and flamed out once they left for college.
It's a failed endeavor. Nothing to gloat about on a message board.
:lightbulb
New idea for a thread!!!
Who's gloating?
I didn't think gay marriage was legal here
I don't know what it is but lil' mo is dumping smegma all over the Club.
Divorce is so mainstream now that it's lamer than non radio eminem I saaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddddd. Getting divorced means you have to go to the sidelines and talk to the olllllllllllllllllllll ball coach efter det one.
Because one wants to and is in love and wants to spend the rest of their lives with that person. Getting married is one of the happiest days of my life.
Sorry things didn't work out for you all but maybe one day you'll find someone who who will make you want to take that step again...then again, maybe not.
Good luck!!!
My parents rock!!! Perfect? No. They have always been there for me during the best of times and the worse of times. Yeah, my dad was old school when I was young and didn't do a lot of hugging and saying "I love you" like more dads do today but I never doubted his love for me. My mom is still one of my closest confidants whom I can share anything with. These days I cherish every moment I get to spend with them.
Well, in my opinion, you can be in love and spend the rest of your life with someone without the contract. Having the contract just makes it more of a pain in the balls to end it if need be. I used to be pro-marriage, whatever you want to call it. Now I just feel it is unnecessary. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trashing you or anyone's belief. If getting the contract is important to you and you want to do it, great. I just don't see the need for it and I don't see myself ever doing it again.
If I end up being with someone that I feel I want to spend my life with, I'll do it without the contract. If the woman I'm with can't handle that, sorry and good-bye. Could that doom me to a life lived alone? Maybe. But that's what I'm willing to risk.
Anyway, more power to all of you who got married or will get married in the future. For those of you who will get married, my advice is two-fold:
1. Get a pre-nup. Even if you have nothing.
2. Don't get married on a whim. Put time in, 2 years minimum in my opinion, into a relationship before you even think about marriage.
Good luck!
Good luck to you and your ex-wife as well.
I am sorry that you two did not stay together.
Marriage is about faith in each other and letting go of our own selfish desires.
It is a contract in and of itself...a contract of love.
I don't know which of you gave up first, or if it was a mutual decision.
However, when you next meet a woman that you truly love, you should not hesitate to happily give her the marriage of her dreams, as it is what almost every girl dreams of.
And why wouldn't you want to give the woman you love the day she has dreamed about her whole life and celebrate with all of your family and friends your blessed union?
As long as you don't give up on love, you will survive. Take care my friend.
She is out there.
good choice op, es aint but hoes and tricks
Yes, Yes, I could not agree more with this post, however, I wonder, which are you?
A hoe or a trick? And do you enjoy getting pooped on?
lol spurstalk's most hated poster, i still got it!!!
Yes, Yes, my friend, but your self proclamation, not with-standing, could you please answer the question at hand? I have a growler ready to go and as you may or may not know, my bowel control is not what it used to be.
no one has ever been dumb enough to try something re ed as attempting to on me, so i really can't answer your question, although it would probably result in your being rushed to the ER with your head caved in, tbh
So was your ex-wife ing around on you or what, strike?
Good. I didn't think that it was something you would enjoy, however, in that case, I humbly suggest that you stop sending out the invitations.
Take care, my friend.
