I think it is just sad that all these people are getting divorced. I'm not trying to be mean, but I think the only reason people get divorced is if they rush the marriage, or are too lazy to work out the problems. Now I have never been married (obviously...), so I really can't relate, but for some of you on your second divorce, wouldn't you see from the first time what your mistake is/was? Like I said, not trying to be mean, but it has to be rushing or laziness.

I say this because my parents have been married for 17 years, and they've had tons of problems. But both were so commited to each other that they took the time and effort to work out their problems, and we're all one happy family. Also on my other point, they dated for 6 years, so they sure as hell didn't rush it.

My two cents.

Around 50 percent of marriages end up in divorce. There are many reasons why people would get divorced. My grandparents met and got married within a matter of months and have been together for over 50 years. Just saying rushed marriages aren't the only reason.

well, ill give him some credit. that may be why alot of recent marriages (by recent i mean those 18-22 year olds who just get married because they THINK theyre in love and know little about each other) probably end. but really 1337ness, thats very narrowminded. especially since you added the "but for some of you on your second divorce, wouldn't YOU see from the first time what YOUR mistake is/was?" because you made it seem like the other person was this perfect gentleman/woman.....which is rarely ever the case...

i would save the human too rambo but this is how i picture it.

HUMAN: what the fuck too you so long? hurry up and get me the fuck out of here!

ANIMAL: staring at you with those sad puppy eyes fearing for it's life.....

my point is that people are cruel by nature. there is no changing that, it's how we were designed. animals only know unconditional love and survival, which makes them better in my book.

i was beat the fuck up everyday of my life by a dude who outweighed me by sometimes more than 150 pounds. i thought i was a bad kid because i was beat. he also beat my mother and it's hard to tear a full grown man off someone when you're only 5 and the fact that person is a raging alcoholic with testosterone flowing through his veins doesn't make it any easier. i wasn't allowed to do anything fun, if he had to be at work, then i had to be working as well, and he'd still beat my ass despite the fact that i was forced to work all day while my friends were outside playing. this went on until i was kicked out at 19, but the last 3 years i lived there i began fighting back, and i was able to finally beat his ass (martial arts ftw!), and that pissed him off even more. he told the cops i nearly killed him in that epic brawl so that's why i had to leave. i didn't want to leave my mom and younger brother but i had no choice.

i'm pretty much immune to physical pain now, i feel it, it just doesn't bother me or scare me, being an abused animal for so many years makes you kind of numb i guess, that's the reason i have negativity towards people. they have to grow on me, but at first glance i have a taste of disgust for them.

honestly, i would probably try and save the human and the animal both.:confused:

Yes, I am quoting you as well, Regi.

All that I can say about what you wrote is that you really showed your age here. (you are 7 right?) What you have done is came into a thread made specifically to help ease some of the suffering of people affected by divorce, with no knowledge of divorce whatsoever, and little to no world experience. Armed with nothing, you have managed to trivialize and generalize something that can turn someone's world around at best, or bring it crashing down around them in most cases.

Your "two cents" should NEVER have been posted here.

As You said, he is 7. I understand what he said may have pissed you all off, but as Malice said he was respectful, his post was laced with as much respect as you can expect from a 7 year old online.
And as for his "Two Cents", he just told you what he thinks, I think you are all in your place to Disagree with him, and its good to tell him that Divorce isnt as plain and simple as he thinks, but can we not be so hostile?
I mean the kid did approach it as safely as one could, and he is most definitely not trying to offend anyone, so don't turn guns on him. Just dont want this to turn into a flaming issue becasue that is exactly what this post does not want.(See first Thread)

@Monstr: In the future, you are always entitled to you opinion, but be careful voicing it on very sensitive topics with people you are not close wit, its very easy to offend, especially if they just read it, they have no idea of your tones etc.

Be Easy.
