GenX here, using the 80/20 rule 80% of my friend's marriages (probably higher %) have ended in divorce. Typically after kids are involved. :-/
Well you're what's in common between all of your friends, so logically...
First off, he's an excellent couple's counselor and, sure, all his friends went to him, but their divorces are not his fault!
Look, I touched the bride's butt once at the reception. Never living that down am I?
Yeah, you thought you did, but it was actually my hand that was there.
Feel slightly attacked here... I was maid of honor ONCE and that marriage lasted less than a year.
My spouse on the other hand: twice. Both marriages have lasted (so far) between 5-10 years, seem to be in best health and another friend asked him to be best man for his anniversary marriage (this time for the church).
I often joke that people should choose more carefully.
Among my friends 100% of divorces were proceeded by getting married...
Conclusion: kids are the cause of 60% of divorces.
When you consider that they're also the main contributor to overpopulation, the conclusion is inescapable:
We need a worldwide moriatum on procreation and possibly an immediate and comprehensive culling of everyone currently younger than 8.
Anyways, vote Viking Hippie for county treasurer!
Vote the Golden God for district 37 comptroller!
They might not be the original cause but often they are part of the process. Some people seem to think that a child will fix their already strained relationship. The problem is that while children make it harder to split up, they usually don't fix the underlying reason why the relationship didn't work in the first place. In the end, they get a divorce anyway only now there is a small human who has to suffer from it.
Congratulations to the few where a child did fix a relationship but for everyone else, maybe sort out your problems before you add another innocent bystander into the mix.
Reminds me of back when I still drank and got the idea that getting a car would be the way to stop drinking because I'd have to be sober to drive 😄
I did not follow through on that harebrained scheme, but I DID eventually stop drinking and am now closing in on 9 years sober 😁🥳
Congrats 👏🏻 🎉 I just passed the two year mark a few months ago
Thanks! Congrats to you too! 🥳
In addition, having kids is a lot of work and takes energy and teamwork and sleepless nights. If you're not doing great already, adding a pile of stress and exhaustion certainly isn't going to help.
I thought I was alone..
That's definitely higher than average, do you have any idea why?
