My parents got divorced, and get this, they are still together. LOL All my grandparents have been divorced. I am married still, he was divorced once. His parents also divorced. Seems like it happens a lot.

I am in the process of a divorce. 21 years. Married, faithfully and two kids 20/16. I have been in and out of work, on unemployment and had some health issues. She has been a good mother and was also faithful. She lacked interest for the most part in the personal/private matters. We grew apart over the years and it is OVER. But, I never stopped helping, trying and I feel respecting her. I have a roof over my head because I did some good things along the way. Financial, employment and economic strife are as great an impact as many devastating issues. You can only take so much. You do not have to stay married, and especially now when we have learned and gained so much from the human experience. Be respectful, don't hurt each other. Enjoy your life and happiness. Live, love and be honest. Believe in yourself and follow your dreams and desires.

Wondering the demographics of married folks here who've been divorced. It's just interesting to me to hear all these statistics about it and feel that when getting married the odds are stacked up against you. Yuck.
Let's get the truth out at least about our little community's divorce rate.
And if you don't care to, could you please let us know if you were divorced, WHY? And if you're still with your marriage partner, what has held you together?

I've been married and divorced once. I told my current fiance if our marriage doesn't work I'd never get married again. Plus it's going to take forever for us to get married in the first place.

Been married less than 2 years....but still counts as "we're still married"

my parents are separated and not officially divorced but i actually think in their situation it would have been better for them to get a divorce to settle finances and stuff and that way i wouldn't have been, well still be, in the middle of all of their shit

I married my high school sweetheart and we divorced. I've been single for the most part the last 3 years as I haven't found the right sort of guy to be with long term. Divorce sucks, I'm sorry to hear your family is experiencing so many so quickly.

Going to be Happily Married in Dec, I love him<3 i don't think we'll ever get a divorce (or at least i hope not!!!)

I got married way young and we stuck it out 5 years before walking away. Got married again, then as soon as we separated he passed away. Engaged now and I swear it's the last freaking time!!!! Being my age, divorced, and widowed, it's just crazy.
I believe though that marriage is a learning experience and I've definitely learned a few things to make this next one work out!

I got married a few months after turning 19. Still married and I'm almost 28. Nine years and going strong.
As for what has held us together... We love each other. We have embraced change and grown together. We support and encourage each other's dreams. We're constantly learning and adjusting. We know that relationships take work, and we've been willing to work at it. Our love is important.
I realize that 9 years is just a drop in the bucket and something could change in the future, so I try not to take him for granted.

Together for 10 years, married for four.

I have never married (only 20), and my parents are still married, never divorced. They nearly split a few years ago and I still honestly believe that they should have. My father ended up guilting my mother into staying (for the children) and it's been a bad, unbalanced relationship ever since. Even more reasons for me never to get married...

I'm on my second marriage. The first was a piece of shit whom I gave 8 years of my life to, only to be cheated on and emotionally (and rarely) physically abused. It took a long time to break away, but I'm glad I did. My current husband and I have been together for over a year now, and just got married a week ago today. :]

still married, 10 years next Sept. Thought for a while things would split us apart, but didn't.

A few years ago my aunt's husband asked her to leave... on her birthday. It was a huge shock to us "kids," but apparently it'd been coming for years.

I think the issue is that people get married too young and then they both slowly change until they hardly recognize each other.
06/03/2012
I waited a long time before getting married. I dated a lot of *wrong* people that were absolutely not marriage material. I was very close to marrying one of them, but came to my senses after almost six years. I met my current husband about ten years ago and we've been married for six years. I'm really glad I waited!! It was TOTALLY worth it!

I've been married for 7 years, never been divorced before. My parents got divorced when I was 15, they married too young.
06/03/2012
Never been married and don't really plan on it.

I haven't married yet, but my parents had an extremely long, exhausting divorce. I was relieved when they finally split up for good - staying in a marriage "for the kids" is so damaging.

I got married in April of last year; the main reason was to keep my boyfriend in this country since he was (and still is, due to technicalities) an illegal alien. I regret getting married, because he was not and still isn't what I need in a relationship. Still, I am not ready to seriously consider divorce (annulment) yet. eta: my parents are still married after 36 years, in spite of many ups and downs. They raised me to respect marriage, hence why I feel like an idiot for going against my values and marrying someone I wasn't sure about.

I just wish my dad would say "yes i'm lazy and I don't feel like putting in effort any more" Because that's basically what i feel is happening

Andy and I had our fair share of bad relationships (never married or divorced before we met each other) before getting together. We've only been married for 2 years, but each year it seems to my mother that we will divorce because of our ages and she tries to get me so upset on those days that we're to the point we tell her we aren't celebrating our anniversarys when we are.
What kept us together is something we don't understand, nor do we care to. All we know is we love each other very much and can't be without the other without some sort of communication from the other, even a Farmville or Cafeworld request at 3 in the afternoon from him that he sent the night before will make me smile.
Though I did suffer depression thanks to my parents divorce (they remarried to each other). I will say, it was very unpleasant, it didn't help that my mother put me down in the worst ways ever.
