Still married and will remain married for the rest of their lives. 25 years of a happy marriage. They take marriage very seriously.

My parents divorced when I was 7 years old (my mum cheated on my dad), I am now 17. I see that event as the point at which my life began to go downhill.

I would say the same, but at the time the separation was a relief for most of us.

My parents are/were great. They never divorced or separated, and I had a great childhood. I'll leave it at that. I don't care to use this forum as a journal of my private life.

Parents divorced the same year no fault divorce became legal in California...1970. I was 3. Father remarried one year later and remained married until his death in 1985. Mother never remarried. She is still alive.

Good to see honest, Christian families here.
Usually folks in the cities divorce even before the kid can said 'mama' 'papa'

As in my case, where my dad decided to cheat on my mom shortly after I was born :icon_yes: Needless to say, they divorced, my dad married a second and a third time, and my mom was so traumatized that she never got her love life back together.

I think most people today don't really understand the phrase "'til death do us part".

My mother and father were never married. My mother was told she could never become pregnant. I was conceived during their one night fling. They were not a good match. My father did keep in contact and I spent summers with him.

There was time in the U.S. when divorce was really rare. Values have certainly changed.

Yep. The only two circumstances I will ever get a divorce is in the case of adultery or sexless marriage. Although unfortunately both of those are on the rise.

Unfortunatly divorced since I am 6 years old, which surely
influenced me in a negative way

Divorced and been so for a while...


Which is a good thing as my dad was no good for my mom and I'm glad it ended well enough, my father is a bit of a loose cannon.

My mom was married once before my dad and my dad has been married 5 times. Needless to say my parents weren't the most stable people. Oh well. People take for granted how important it is to grow up in a stable home and I'm envious of those with married parents.

Still together.

But there were ofcourse arguements. Hilarious ones for me growing up, because my dad has a swedish accent. I always loved hearing him angry.

They married after I was born ,had ups and downs , still are together....but due to their profession they were not together all the time ...
I don't see divorce as a bad thing at all....people should be free to chose if they want to stay in any sort of relationship.

They're divorced, unfortunately. Both of them agree that it was a mistake, but are too proud to remedy it.

Yeah, I don't blame them for divorcing, and I've never really forgiven my mum for cheating on my dad. My social life would be much better if my parents hadn't divorced, I would be more physically attractive (it sounds weird but if you really want to know, ask me), and I would be much more comfortable around my own family.

Father was a bum; cheated on my mother throughout their marriage. Eventually ran away boldly in the middle of the night leaving a note, taking off with a cow that was our next door neighbor who my mother knew was banging my father.

They were together for 18 years, but he was a drunken lecher, and abuser. He endangered my brother's life by drunk driving many many times, and he was abusive towards me in ways I would rather not divulge. Needless to say it was not healthy. It was the best thing that happened to our family that my mother finally walked out on his ass, I was 11.5 when we finally did. Now she's married to a really great guy that I call Dad, and they've been together 16 years.

Married for 25 years & will probably stay married til' the end
(they take marriage very seriously & also travel alot together).

I guess when you find the right person, a lifetime is too short.

For those of you who have divorced parents: What's your relationship with your step-families like?

I'm more comfortable around my stepdad than my own father.

Sorry for asking, but, is your step father a bad person bro?

Its ok bro. I wouldnt say a bad person tbh, but a shitty step dad, he rejected me a lot as a kid, and was very jelaous of me with my mother, he is also a tad manipulative but since I caught onto that shit as a kid it never worked on me but it was horrible to see when he did it on my mom. Once when I was 14 I snapped and we got into a fist fight, ever since I have acted like he doesnt exist even if we are in the same house and I have never spoken to him ever since.

Still married.

And they look happy (what I can see & sense). I guess they married each others via right reasons. Sometimes you need to do sacrifices, even big ones. My father's temporary period in Finland (participated in one project work) changed to be permanent.

Divorced when i was 5. The remarriage fucked me over. The step family might as well have been aliens and the situation, beyond terrible. It tooks decades to sort it out. I forgave them but I can never forget. Never.

Sorry to hear that. Exactly the same here, divorced when I was 5. I only met one of my stepfather's family members (one time), he walked out one day and we never saw him again

They were married until my father died from a heart attack at 47, from 1993 - 2013, he died two days after the anniversary of their wedding actually.

My mother never remarried or even dated again, and when she talks about my dad she still has that sort of look in her eyes, you know? It sucks to lose your loved ones, but such is life and time just keeps moving on, gotta roll with the punches.
