Your parents still married?

elizabethmae315 · March 2012

My parents just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this past october. All of my grandparents are happily together, and for over 50 years. I just have one aunt that was divorced, and a couple uncles that were married once before they married into our families. All of those marriages ended before kids were involved.

FI's parents are divorced and remarried, and they are the only ones in either side of their family to have done so. In fact, i even think all of FIs married cousins are still in their first marriage, and none have been divorced.

So i guess we are the opposite of nati- id like to keep our familys track record going rather than reverse it!! l

Both of our parents are divorced. My parents separated when I was in first grade and divorced when I was in 3rd. They are both remarried and are much happier now. FI's parents got married because of FI. His mom was actually underage when she got pregnant with him and his father couldn't put his name on the birth certificate without getting in trouble. Once FI was born his father adopted him and married his mom. They were married long enough to have 3 more kids then divorced. His mom has been remarried twie since then and his dad has a long time girlfriend that he will not marry. He doesn't want anything to do with marriage anymore.

My grandparents all stayed married until they passed away. FI's grandparents on his mom's side are divorced. His grandfather remarried, but his grandmother did not.

There is a lot of divorce in our familys, but I stay optimistic that we will make it through. We have our tough times like any normal marriage, but we truly love each other and put up with each other's crap lol. It's been 8 years so far.

I think the most traumatic divorce in my family was my ex boyfriend's parents. His parents seemed like the perfect couple to me. They had been together since they were teenagers, four grown sons, and they were always kissing and holding hands - and then BAM - in their 40's - they called it quits. I was shocked - as was my ex (which at that time - we were still together).

Then - two years later - I dumped him and unfortunately - he's sort of lost his faith in love. $:\$

My mom and dad have been divorce since I was 6, but separated since I was 4. D

I never really had a whole family. My mom remarried Aug. 2010 so, I don't really know him since my mom and I have a horrible relationship. Divorce doesn't exactly run high in my family. My dad is the only one divorced, but some are very unhappy in their marriages and have no issues with showing that.

FI's parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary in June

We are both very much so against divorce. IMO divorce is way to accessible. People who choose to get married should fight like hell to save their marriage. I hate that their is this mind set "if it doesn't work out, there is always divorce". I can't say I will never get a divorce, but I can say I will fight with everything I have to save my marriage.
