It's supposed to say, "why do people seem to get divorced over the simplest things now?" I left out the "get."

People are stupid and sociopathic. That is how parents raise their kids these days. Just look at all the obesity that is caused by bad parenting and families.

Hmmm....maybe because too many people are weak, and make the decision to cheat on their spouse.
Money problems?
I could go on....

I don't know...Nobody said marriage was easy...It is work. Hard and constant. I guess people just don't want to work at it...They think it should just flow and work on it's own...and it just doesn't.

Huckleberry, not one woman I know who's divorced came out ahead dollar wise. In fact, they pretty much all got *****. My last two boyfriends were the ones who filed for divorce from their wives and they ended up paying child support but that's about it - they didn't lose a house, or anything that huge. I don't know where you get your statistics but they seem a bit skewed. My one female friend lost about $80K between attorney fees and having to give her cheating husband half of her retirement savings. Another ended up having to move back in with her Dad because her cheating ex refuses to pay his court ordered child support and she lost a ton of $ to the lawyers as well. A third had to promise to not try to visit her own child to avoid being killed. In my experience, the men cheat, lie, and even quit their jobs to avoid paying anything, even when there are children involved. My friends got royally scrooged by their exes.

OK, off my soapbox and back on topic. I agree that some people are very quick to file for divorce at the first sign of trouble. Forget about trying to work it out, get counseling, or just talk to each other and see the others point of view. Unless there is a dealbreaker like cheating, abuse, drugs, etc., a lot of marriages could probably be saved, but it takes two to want that to happen. If only one person is willing to fight for the marriage, it's probably doomed.

"not one woman I know who's divorced came out ahead dollar wise."

I'd like to introduce you to my ex.

She's the one in the big house with a garage full of expensive cars. Or you might catch her at the lake home....

Generally, nobody comes out ahead in a divorce except the lawyers.


I think divorce is more common in the U.S. than in some countries because marriage is more common. Marriage seems to be more socially acceptable here than just shacking up, so we sometimes rush into it when we shouldn't. A bad partnership should be dissolved if it can't be fixed.
