I think that the divorce rate's over 50% for a reason. I don't think people are taking enough time now to really see if they can make it work and live together.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Divorce is a time of change. It really rocks a foundation of most people's lives. When we have our heart broken or our dreams taken away from us, it is a time of growth and change.
I firmly believe that every six years, a person goes through a serious change. Think about it: At 6, you start school. At about 12, you start hitting puberty. And then it goes on. You start hitting these different mental levels, and people change. I think that's part of the reason the divorce rate is so high.
When people divorce, it's always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse.
People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
People go through life and make personal decisions and sometimes they don't work out. I won't be the first person to be divorced.
Divorce is always terrible, but I haven't met anyone who went through it and isn't happier now.
I'm one of the people that were divorced by 30, which is apparently a growing group... Obviously it's something that affects you forever. It's going to be interesting to see in ten, twenty years what kind of lasting effect young divorce has on the people that are doing it because it's becoming more and more common.
Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.
I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.
Divorce isn't just the person, it's everything that goes with it - your kids, the adjustment, everything.
