Today evening i met my friend after long gap of time due this covid situation, he was very sad so just ask him what happen why you are sad, please tell me if i can help you out, then he said his wife want divorce from him & she left his home, she was staying now at her parent place. Then, i was totally shock what happen so suddenly anything serious, he said that she don't want to stay with his parent, want to stay seperately but he is only one son so can't leave his parent for any cost. he said, have no problem of divorce but he don't want his son suffer from this situation & his parents also dependent can't leave them alone. he want his son should stay with him but she is not allowing to do that & finally everyone blaming to him. I said to him, i can't help you but i can pray for you and this is your fight finally you need to solve this.

It sounds like a tough situation. I think both parties should go to a counselor so they get advised on how to manage the divorce.

It's an Indian custom that sons stay with their parents and rather risk the break-up of their marriage than leave their parents. I've never met or heard about a German who does this.

the bit-- no ... no ... I don't know their situation; maybe there are 'conditions I don't know about' that make her BREAK THE VOW of "in sickness and in health"

@iamsantoshpatnaik I am sorry. Divorce is not easy. I cannot blame her for not wanting to live with his parents. She wants privacy and a home for her family. Divorce happens and it is very hard on the children and the ones getting divorced as well.

@iamsantoshpatnaik My divorce was a good thing. We are not meant to be together. At times they are best for the people to do.

That's so sad situation of your friend, Her wife should understand the situation. Well why don't you take him to your church and talk to your pastor and have some prayers.

It is very hard to meddle with family problems specially divorce issues.That is very personal .We dont exactly knowwhat happened and they need leal advice.The best thing you can do is to be a friend to hear out his problems and frustrstions etc..

People get divorced but never think about the child.

Life can be difficult at times! Nice that you can give him your support and that you pray for him.

I am sorry for your friend, but this is something they should have discussed before getting married.

I can't help you neither for I don't know the real cause of it and besides I'm not a licensed counselor. Divorce is different from staying away from trouble.
