bostonterrier Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 The divorce rate these days is so high, I see all this old couples who are still together after so many years,nowadays people get married and get a divorce after a couple of years:confused:
2fargone Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Marriage doesn't have to have anything to do with love these days. It can be convenience aswell. When you get married, or after you're married for 30 years, both can be convenience. 1
regine_phalange Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Love got hit by a train. Now it's a paraplegic...
samsungxoxo Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) The divorce rate these days is so high, I see all this old couples who are still together after so many years,nowadays people get married and get a divorce after a couple of years:confused:I think it's because nowadays more people aren't into just settling and compromising for the sake of love and/or the kids if they're totally unhappy in the marriage and there have been big major issues such as infidelity, porn or drug addictions, abuse, negligence, etc. Edited December 31, 2013 by samsungxoxo 1
Robert Z Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 People started getting divorced as soon as they could. The divorce rate doubled as soon as no-fault divorce laws came into effect in the 1970s. So in effect, people were being held hostage. I think the problem is that most marriages don't work and the evidence supports that. It is a flawed construct.
carhill Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 What happened to love? It died of old age and neglect, in the case of this 54yo male. I guess, if one believes in resurrection, then further possibilities exist. In my generation, what shocks me is seeing couples who are in their 60's, been together 30-40 years, getting divorced. Bizarre. These are front-line boomers who remained married through some of the most rapidly changing and evolving social times in recent history. Whatever they did, it worked during a time where no one would have batted an eyelash if they got divorced at a younger age, then they do so in their twilight years. Go figure. 1

Also what I have seen is women in their 40s are divorcing in droves. I would not recommend a man in his 40s to ever get married. It is a big gamble
theothersully Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I think it's because most people have turned into selfish *******s. Instead of caring about the person they're with and compromising with them and communicating with them, they just throw them away like trash. Its a disposable society, and people get thrown out with all the rest of the disposable trash.
