"They are so getting divorced!"

Have you ever looked at a couple and knew before they married that they would divorce.. then they did?

Just thought this would make for a fun poll.. story sharing!

Re: "They are so getting divorced!"

  • Does that couple on Bridezillas, the one with the bride who fake cried and started this whole big thing with her band leader and tried to sing and was awful and had that super fake voice she claimed was totally her real voice and her husband walked out of the final interview with the Bridezillas people count?

    Because they weren't divocred as of the last update but I remain confident that it is coming.

    HaHa .. I remember her.  I have no clue what the hubby is thinking.. but he does NOT look happy in any of the episodes/updates.
  • That's sad.  It is horrible that no one could warn them.. it is one of those things that they have to figure out in their own time for themselves!  At least they realized it now (when they are more likely to find another mate) than 10-15 years from now!

    I concur!  How are they still married?  Amazing in the sack?

    A friend of mine got married, and everyone (but me) was aware that it was not a good idea (I was apparently oblivious).  They were separated 4 months later after he was caught cheating on her.  Now they are divorced, officially.
  • Some friends of mine are currently divorcing, and from the day I met them I was like "why the hell are these people married to each other?"  So yeah, they did not surprise me.  But I don't think there's been anyone that I knew from the day they got married that it wouldn't work out.

  • This happened with my first wedding.  My FSIL refused to come saying that it was "just another one of ex-db's weddings" (I was his second wofe).  And, sure enough she was right although I tried to prove her wrong.  Now he's busy planning his third wedding.  A trilogy of sorts.  LOL 


  • I've never thought that, I was at a wedding where they were going to have an open marriage, and thought I just don't understand.  However I think they might make it work, I just couldn't.

    [QUOTE]I knew a couple that I was positive they were going to get divorced, but they ended up calling off the engagement 5 months before the wedding. Now she is having another guy's baby (it's been about 5 months since she broke up with FI)....Does this count?

    I told my ex he should not marry his FI. They got married, and he got struck by lightning on his honeymoon (he lived). See, even God didn't want him to marry her.

    Six months later, she left him for another woman and they got divorced.

    Edited for stupid typos. :)

  • The last wedding I was in, the bride and groom had cheated on each other a number of times.  I have no idea why they were getting married.  She and I haven't spoken since a few months after teh wedding (we had a falling out), but they're still married, to everyone's surprise.

  • I wish a some friends of ours would get divorced.  Does that count?  She cheated on him with a 60 year old guy because he was rich, and when that guy wouldn't marry her, she decided to stay with her H and he stayed with her because his parents gave him a giant guilt trip about getting a divorce being against the Bible.  I figure it's only a matter of time before she gets her BBD and leaves him.

    A few years ago, I was in a wedding where the couple was on & off for 6 years before getting married, with a lot of emotional abuse and even some physical abuse.  After the rehearsal dinner, the bride was crying her eyes out over H going out drinking the night before the wedding.  I asked her if she was sure she wanted to go through with this (thinking, 'Please say no!!!) and her response was "I'm going to go through with it.  I'm just not sure I'm going to be happy."

    Within 18 months she was living with another guy.  The divorce was final a little over 2 years after they got married.

  • Yes. It just took me 4 1/2 years to clearly see that reflection in the mirror.

  • FSIL got married two years ago.  The wedding got called off about 3 times during their engagement, once being the week before.  Her hubby always kept his bags packed and ready to go.  They got engaged because she said if he didn't marry her she would cheat.

    The separated 13 months later, she met another guy and 5 months into the relationship got knocked up.  They got married last week, 1 week after the divorce was finalized.  I didn't give a gift, I felt that I gave her it 2 years ago when she got married the first time.
  • Yup, when I was bartending. It was happy hour, and the bar was empty, except for one guy. He started telling me that his wedding was coming up, and about how he and his fiancee met during Katrina (which, at the time was about 9 months prior) and they were so in love, blah blah blah. I don't know why I knew it wouldn't work. Something just sounded off.  And I definitely didn't say anything like that at the time, but I knew they'd end up getting divorced. Because I still hang out at that bar, and he does too, I found out about a year ago that they did get divorced.

    I don't watch Bridezillas much, but I saw this one!!  She was outrageous.  I didn't know they did updates, and I can't believe they're still married (or that hubby would want to do updates when she showed out like that on the original show)!
  • I'm waiting on 3 couples I know who will be divorce by their 5 year (one might be longer because she is so naive and sweet that she will take this guys controlling nature). The first couple I know is having huge problems now but they haven't gotten split because of course kids are involved and the girl lost her job and refuses to take the kids and go to her parents (who live in FL shes in IL). The other the guys a lazy lousy loser, I'm really surprised the engagement last because no one approved of the guy but her parents wanted to throw a "going away" party in place of the wedding so yeah she had a kid last year (got pregnant a month after they were married) and is pregnant again (due in November). He does nothing, and she works in the hospital, and her parents basically pay for a lot of their bills. She has zero common sense and maybe one day she will wake up and realize this guy is just using her.

    Friends of FI were getting married.  MOH and best man of the WP were dating - but then broke up. (background - MOH cheated w someone else in the WP, so best man was not to blame nor had done anything to hurt MOH) 

    The bride demanded her groom to make his  best man step down because her MOH does not want him there, since they broke up.  So groom asked best friend not to be best man anymore (WTF??) and to not come to the wedding.

    They filed for divorce two weeks after the honeymoon!  Saw that coming!!!

    Also - a good friend of my had an "oops" pregnancy with her man, who proposed right before she gave birth.  They fought often, before and after the baby.  When she said she was getting divorced, I was not surprised.

  • A guy I went to high school with married this girl that everybody was like "Dude, seriously?". They've been married 2 years, but pretty much every single one of his FB status updates is how miserable he is. Apparently, she doesn't have FB ... if she ever makes an account, I really can't imagine the marriage lasting much longer than her first scroll through his feed.

    If you fire a WP member, you're against America.

  • Yes.  they got married the summer after high school when she was 18. They never had a great relationship and she pressured him into getting married.  Their wedding was super cheap.  When they were walking out of the church just after getting married, he looked completely and totally miserable.  LIke frowning, looking like he was about to cry, really upset.  I thought wow.... their wedding pictures are going to suck.  I also knew they'd get divorced.  Which they did  but only after having two kids.  He just left her.  So sad.  
  • I don't, because I'm an eternal optimist.  But my FI states that he's batting 1.000 with his marriage success predictions.  I hope that's a good thing?

    On the other hand, it surprises me not at all that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have called off the engagement.

    Yes, a couple who were friends of mine got married last year just before us. She's already cheated on him since (and he found out; it was a prolonged affair), so it's only a matter of time, given that occurred within their first year of marriage! It was obvious from the start that it was a very bad idea.
