Calling for divorce after you have been stuck with someone for all those years, is very unfortunate. It is really sad especially since the background reason for the divorce is not known. The most common reasons women file for divorce is infidelity, I know not of any other reason. Could that be the reason she filed for divorce too?

 

[No Swansong]

Actually I think the most common reason for filing for divorce is "irreconcilable differences."

There are many other reasons that she may have filed and of course infidelity could be one of them. Seems to me you are simply trying to sling mud before you even know the facts.

Maybe. Maybe she just didn't like him any more?

How about abuse?

"irreconcilable differences" is a very vague general term. And mostly filed because they want to keep things lay-low.

All around us, every day, we see the bitter fruit of the breakdown of the family. ... I believe the breakdown of the family is a direct result of our "no-fault" laws. ... Why should a couple invest in a marriage when it can be dissolved for no reason at all. Divorce reform is greatly needed

No mud slinging here. Hopefully there will be more news on this. It doesn't seem like cheating was involved since the liberal media would be on that like hyenas like with Ted Haggard.

Probably the usual reason for divorce. One party treats the other like crud and the other doesn't want to put up with it anymore.

you'd be quite surprised actually.
The best marriages are those where both husband and wife realize that good marriages take
work and effort; they don't just happen. Easy divorce laws remove some
of the incentive to make a marriage work. But the greater problem is
that current divorce laws justify the attitude that 'if it doesn't work
out, we can always get a divorce'. Because of this, many marriages take
place that are doomed from the start. These doomed marriages are much
less likely to take place when a substantial legal commitment is required


If neither party wants to stay in it, then the relationship has no chance anyway. If one person
wants to leave, and they have a good reason, they can. If they want to
leave for no particular good reason, then they have to pay the piper.
How about a system where whenever you had a divorce, you had to lose a
toe? Liz Taylor could star in the remake of Footless ...
I'm actually only half-joking. I think this new age/affirmation-mania/
positive reinforcement b.s. that actions should not have negative
consequences leads to masses of morons with delusions of entitlement and
invuneralbility. Let's not leave every emotionally-stunted, immature
idiot with the feeling that they too can do marriage.
Yeah... lose a toe if you get divorced... I like that thought
Let's thank god I'm not in politics, eh?

Translation of the above:

The man is allowed to give his wife crud and if she doesn't want to take it she's a bad person, unfeminine, and violating god's will. And thus, she should be mutilated, for she is not entitled to be treated with respect or as a person.

 

[CreedIsChrist]

In America, divorce used to be difficult to obtain and, usually, impossible without good reason: adultery, abandonment, abuse, alcoholism. In 1880, according to the historian Robert L. Griswold, one marriage in 21-fewer than 5 percent-ended in divorce. Over time, there have been peaks and valleys in the divorce rate, such as the period immediately following World War II, when returning soldiers found things rather different from how they had left them, or were themselves tremendously changed by war. "But beginning in the mid-1960s," writes Griswold, the divorce rate "again began to rise dramatically, fueled by ever-higher marital expectations, a vast expansion of wives moving into the work force, the rebirth of feminism, and the adoption of 'no fault' divorce (that is, divorce granted without the need to establish wrongdoing by either party) in almost every state." Griswold continues, "The last factor, although hailed as a progressive step that would end the fraud, collusion, and acrimony that accompanied the adversarial system of divorce, has had disastrous consequences for women and children.'"

And in America, men used to legally be allowed to beat and rape their wives, and a man cheating on his wife was expected, as the woman was considered little more than property. The woman, in fact, was not permitted to own property or to work without her husband's permission, and often not allowed to travel without his permission.

But that is what you want, right?

Did I say anywhere where a man is allowed to abuse his wife? Please read again. I just think today modernist propaganda has created a good amount of morons who know nothing what marriage really is about. And now these morons are getting married, along with their unrealistic self-serving expectations, and end up horribly disappointed because they came in with a wrong mindset already. The problem is, there are allot of these idiots, and they bring our country down and hurt the stability of the family unit with their propaganda.

 

[Keres]

When the divorce rate was lower, men mistreated their wives at will.

This is a fact.

When women no longer were willing to allow themselves to be mistreated, the divorce rate rose as they dumped the men who mistreated them.

You want to return to the times in which a woman who was mistreated had no recourse. In your world, that is what marriage is about, the woman being subjugated. Frankly, it's men with opinions like that which are the leading cause of divorce. If men treated their women right, the women wouldn't file for divorce.

 

[lux et lex]

I'd divorce Benny Hinn if I was married to him, too.

Agreed but it is used to cover up many more sins than adultery.

All around us, every day, we see the bitter fruit of the breakdown of the family. ... I believe the breakdown of the family is a direct result of our "no-fault" laws. ... Why should a couple invest in a marriage when it can be dissolved for no reason at all. Divorce reform is greatly needed

I hesitantly agree with you although I'm not as convinced that there is a causal relationship between no fault divorce and the breakdown of the family as much as no fault divorce is a result of the breakdown of the family. But either way I do indeed believe that divorces should not be as easy to obtain as they are now in many states.

No mud slinging here. Hopefully there will be more news on this. It doesn't seem like cheating was involved since the liberal media would be on that like hyenas like with Ted Haggard.

I apologize for the accusation it was inappropriate.

Yes, lets! If you were elected a politician that would be all the proof I'd need that we live in a Godless world.

Sorry, I joke, apart from starting to sound a little bit like a broken record, I'm sure you mean the best, we all do.

Have you ever in your life felt like you were trapped in a situation you didn't want to be in, but had no easy escape from? Perhaps you were living with someone you really couldn't stand maybe hated, but your financial position at the time meant it was either grin and bear it which can be very testing when the rage is building up inside, or the alternative is living on the streets, could have been living with your mum or dad, a sibling, girlfriend, a college room mate or anyone that you had to share close living space with? Or perhaps your one and only true friend at school is being really horrible to you, making you feel really small, and you can't work out why this person is doing this to you, but if you lose that friend you will be totally isolated during your school hours, lunch etc ? Or your boss is being a total and utter jerk, totally unreasonable, shouting at you, being rude, but if you tell him where to go you'll lose your job, and your home. Or maybe you were being bullied at some point and didn't know where to turn? If anything like that or similar has ever happened to you can you remember how it felt, how helpless you felt at the time?

It's a horrible feeling to be in a situation like that, one of the worst feelings in the world, luckily most of us only have to go through something like that temporarily and then we find an escape. For many women though, they were trapped in these situations, in a loveless, cruel marriage for all their lives, as they really did have no where to go, no money, no education, no profession so they were totally and utterly trapped with someone who is making their life misery, not necessarily physically even, but psychologically which is in some ways worse. Can you really comprehend how that must feel, the helplessness. Yes, marriage should be worked at, I really don't think many people take marriage and divorce lightly in the real world outside of showbiz, they really don't. But we should promote a society where there is less chance of people getting trapped into horrible situations they can't escape from. We can not value the institution of marriage higher than the happiness of fully grown adults. Human feelings really should come first, way ahead of a dogged determination to keep divorce rates down.

You could have a point....like a silent protest move....LOL

 

[Robbie_James_Francis]

Why is it an intrinsically good thing for a married couple to say together? If each partner would be better off without the other, then what's the problem?

I'm highly suspicious of the attitude that everything was better when people stayed married. People stayed in abusive relationships and their entire lives were ruined. Staying together wouldn't be beneficial for the kids either--ultimately, it's not good to see both of your parents unhappy, or, at the other extreme, to live in a household where one of your parents is abusing the other as well as you and your siblings.

Everything looked rosy when social mores forced people to stay together and keep their mouths shut. We've seen the outcome of that, for example, with those who have spoken out against childhood abuse. I don't think that society is being corrupted, rather it's very painfully coming to terms with the corruption that existed in the sort of society that you naively idealise.

I hear my grandparents' generation talk about their lives and I am overwhelmed by the fact that they have put up with what has happened. My parents' generation have had the opportunity to change it. My grandparents stayed with their violent alcoholics; my aunts and step-mum didn't, and are happier for it.

A video

Kind of disturbing, when the rape of a woman (using force) is treated as a joke because the woman happens to be married to her attacker.

That is the mindset you want to return to, isn't it, CiC? That the woman should just put out because she doesn't have a mind of her own and isn't deserving of basic human dignity?

Calling for divorce after you have been stuck with someone for all those years, is very unfortunate. It is really sad especially since the background reason for the divorce is not known. The most common reasons women file for divorce is infidelity, I know not of any other reason. Could that be the reason she filed for divorce too?

Why is not knowing the reason for the divorce something that makes it especially sad? Fractured families are sad for those involved regardless of the reason; but
I can't imagine why it's any of my business that they are getting divorced. People's personal lives should be just that, personal.
