divorce as a trend?

I just don't get people who swore 'for better or for worse' and then would get a divorce because of a fight over the smallest of things. I understand if you want to leave a husband or a wife because they're having an affair or your life and your kids are being threatened but I know a couple who broke up over macaroni and cheese. Miscommunication is also a culprit. I think these couples should take the time to get to know each other first before getting married. Marriage is sacred and people are just making a play of it.

Mac and Cheese? Wait, did they split because there wasn't enough at the dinner table or something? I try not to worry about why other people do such questionable things, but It is quite odd that some just refuse to make an attempt to work things out with the people they claim to love. I guess they thin marriage is easy, until they are in said union.

I agree there is more divorce in our generation than the one before. People just don't want to work things out, it's like they have no patience anymore. I think our society is to blame, in the past generations, we only divorce for major problems because divorce was considered a bad thing, not anymore and I think that makes it easier for people to get a divorce for stupid stuff.

Well Maxen I cannot fully agree with u because I know quite a number of couples who dated for almost 7, 8 or maximum 10 years even after then their married life crashed...So how long one needs to know another person? I believe its not the quantity of time that matters.Sometimes u can know a person within an hour and sometimes a lifetime is not enough for knowing someone.The thing is marriage is the only relationship on earth which gives us the liberty to terminate and move away legally.Don't we have problems with our parents, our siblings, our frnds, our cousins, our close relatives or any other relation? When we have trouble with our mother do we file for a divorce and get a new mom or we give divorce to our dad when we have issues with him? that is becoz legally that is not possible and people are misusing the freedom given to them and destroying this instituion..The other name for marriage is sacrifice...and today no one can do that..so love vanishes in no time.

Hey, i've just notice today that many public figures here in my country has a new hobby,"divorce to then re-married again." and then you brought up this discussion.lol And yeah, i couldn't agree more with you,many various reasons on why they easily broke-up, miscommunication, third-person, and just a mere sense of adventure to try another partner. So,even if their marriage just a year old or less, it's likely they will divorce, as long as money talks! but Lastly, with demoralized attitude like theirs, it's easy to say "for better,but if it worse, let it be on your own!"

I think that there are alot of people out there that tend to get married in a hurry and never get to know each other first aswell as they not had time living together to get to know all the other persons bad habbits.I know alot of people out there that get married either to end up getting a divorce or worse they stay together and live very unhappy lives.

I think not it only just happened to partners who did not like to go down their prides to say sorry to each one of them. Pride can let partners break if they will not talk about the things they did not understand each others. Each one of them should listen of what she makes her mad at you so that you could check what are your weaknesses and learned the art of being humble even if you are not making the mistakes I guess in the long run he can imagine of it afterwards. If there is quarrel it should be talked that day. Bo not let it pass next day so that it will be fade away and gone. Sometimes it matters with attitude of each partners how they accept their mistakes and sometimes this is way to divorce.

We live in a society that only cares about pleasure. Because divorce is no longer frowned upon, people just do it at whim. They figure they are not happy right this minute, they will just move on. Obviously there are reasons for divorce, and they should be divorced. But just getting divorced because you are bored, or they got fat, or some other stupid reason is just that stupid.

Mac and cheese? There might be a deeper discussion over the mac and cheese fight? Maybe it reminds of an Ex? of a situation that has happened in the past that includes the Mac and cheese...things like that?

It would HAVE to be more than about Mac and Cheese, or your 'friends' need psychiatric help. (ie; they HAVE serious issues!) I read recently that Divorce rates are down; believed to be be so because of the down turned economy...misery loves company or we are more likey to be grateful when things around us turn to crap.
