My folks are still together after 35 years, even though I think they would be happier divorced. My wife and I are still together after 12 years of marriage and couldn't be happier.

mine divorced about 13 yrs ago. i was only 14 so it sucked ass. it wasnt an ugly divorce and they remained friendly towards each other so that was a bonus! the only advantage is that on holidays and birthdays you get double! [8D]

Parents divorced in 1977, father died in 1980.
Once divorce no kids, one divorce on-the-way with a daughter. |

My wife's parents are still married after 32 years.
My parents were "married" for 11 years, when my father died right after I turned 14. I use "married" because there was never a ceremony. My mother wore a ring and my father asked her, but she never wanted a ceremony. You will notice that I saw I was 14 and they were married for 11. That is because my father was a total jerk and shirked on his fatherly duties until I was about 3 years old. Some of my oldest memories are him not coming to see me because he had better things to do, and it had a massive impact on me as a father. I've been married for almost five years now, and my wife and I dated for a year before I proposed, so I knew what I was getting into. It was important for me to get married and be a great father to my children. I made a promise to God and my wife that I would be by her side in good times and bad until the day one of us died and I would foresake all others except our children. And I made a promise to myself that I would always put my children before my own needs. In my mind, that's exactly what being a man, husband, and father is all about. God Bless Texas |

Mine were together to the day my dad died, and if you asked my mom she'd probably say they are still together.
Missed the last part of that question-never been married and have no kiddies, but my folks married later in life. |

Quoted: Who else would have me? Ha don't bet on it- I know a guy in his 60's whose wife divorced him. About a week later he ran into his 10 th grade girlfriend in a mall in the next county, they were married about a month later. One of the happiest guys I know. |

My folks have been together for 23 long years, although the last few have been rocky. Myself, never been married and no kids yet thankfully. Most of my friends folks are divorced and remarried, I guess I am one of the lucky few whose folks are still together.

Parents divorced at 14, after my mother had endured 19 years of physical abuse at the hands of my Dad. I was glad when they divorced; at least they'd stop being so miserable. There were some rocky times for around 5 years after the divorce but things are cool now.

My Mom & Dad have been married 40 years next month.
FORTY years!............. When I look at them [and sure...they had some rough times]..the Carter years and farming.....raising 2 kids.....Mom never worked [by their choice].....anyhow, when I look at them I can't help but be in awe of what they have accomplished. They are now in their late 50's, looking for retirement.....and looking forward to a week on Maui for their anniversary. I know they only made it because of a few basic concepts: Love of eachother and respect for the committment they made to one another and most importantly the vows they made before God. Here I am 2 marriages later [15 years total time] and still looking for that someone who has what it takes to keep the same perspective on life and love that my parents have always exhibited. Not sure they are even out there [but this new gal I am seeing has promise.....lots of promise] We'll see.............. |

My parents have been married for like 32 or 33 years, however the last year or so has been very bad. I don't know if its because all of the kids are out of the house, the youngest of 4 a sophomore in college. My mom has been saying some pretty cruel stuff to my dad, like, "I married to get out of the house", "You were never around", "I never loved you but stayed because we had kids", etc.
They tried counseling, but it didn't seem to get anywhere because my mom is set on getting a divorce. They pretty much just do their own thing nowadays. I keep telling my dad not to put up with it anymore...why be miserable any longer. As for me, it'll be 6 years in August with 2 wonderful kids. |

My folks were together for 25 years until my pop was killed in an industrial accident while I was in Vietnam. My in-laws met in grade school and were married for almost 60 years. The WW2 Top Kick passed on last Nov. The older generation in America ,for the most part, stayed together.Something changed in America...
