Considering the divorce rate is so high, it should be a recognizable subject.

Divorce

My parents aren't divorced, Although they fight every now and again. They are very opposite of eachother, my mother comes from a clean well mannered family while my dad comes from a dirty sloppy family. Although I dislike my dad, I actually wouldn't want them to get a divorce. But if they did I wouldn't really have a problem.
Lets put that into a different perspective.
There is a large group of people waiting to cross the road for the first time. When they cross, 50% of the people make it. There's now a second group of people waiting to cross the road for their second time. When they cross 67% of them do not make it to the other side. Finally, the third group of people are waiting to cross the road for their third time. When they cross 74% of those do not make it.
If those are the odds, I do not like my chances of crossing the road, if you know what I mean.
It doesn't come down to chance, BreakGuy.
If your partner files for divorce, you can't just throw up your arms and say 'oh, it looks like I got unlucky'. Luck or chance is irrelevant in a marriage, it's up to you and your partner.

You're not understanding me...a person will divorce you if they don't like you, or if you have done something to make them detest you. If they marry you, they must be in love, and you must have done something to reverse this.
Those percentages are dependent on people, there are no sciences or rules involved.

I'd compare marriage to a lottery rather than crossing the road.
Would you participate in the lottery if you had 50% chance to win?

My parents never legally divorced. They were separated and dating other people for many years though. Once my mom passed away my dad got married to his long time girlfriend... He felt it was inappropriate to have her sign divorce papers while she was battling cancer.
I was with my daughter's mom for years and we lived together. We were practically a married couple but didnt have the piece of paper that said so so we didnt have to get divorced when we split up.

Mine's fighting it too, though thankfully she isn't likely to be losing any time soon.
Still, stalemate's bad enough =/
*cough* Oh yeah, divorce.

I know before anyone complains, I'm going to talk gay for a moment. So if you don't like it then don't read my post.
You know what's funny, is that most gay couples don't divorce. They must be doing something right.
My aunt has cancer and she is a mother.
