On the other hand, people don't generally go around suggesting their parents should divorce, so I'm assuming pj knows some things we don't. On the other other hand, there's the diaper rule. Once people have changed your diaper, they probably don't want your advice on love or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Yeah, I'm really interested in knowing why he thinks they should've gotten divorced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, people don't generally go around suggesting their parents should divorce, so I'm assuming pj knows some things we don't. I'm just saying. As a kid I witnessed the absolute worst of what can happen in marriage/relationships. I think that if things are so bad that a couple should get divorced, they would get divorced, particularly after however long PJ and his sister have been out of their care. I think most couples that are together for that long def have moments where it would appear they couldn't give a piss about each other. But that doesn't mean its true. I just wish my parents were still together, and unless it was an abusive relationship, I would've tried my damndest to keep them together, cause the alternative sucks. It really does.

It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary Saturday. I did not plan anything and my sister and I, while still talking only when we are at family events, rarely speak, so nothing was planned. I didn't wish them a happy anniversary, because in my opinion (and I've told them this before) that I thought they should have divorced a long time ago. I did get them a card and I was going to give it to them today. I thought they would want me to come over today for labor day, but I haven't heard anything from them. I think they are mad at me. I ended up going to our neighborhood BBQ at the pool. I'm not sure what to make of this. I really think they are mad at me. Not enough information, but if you aren't sure, just go over there.

pjfootballer Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 My Dad was an alcoholic for most of their marriage. My Mom has filed for divorce a couple of times only to change her mind. It was a volatile marriage a lot of the years with a tons of arguing (mainly him coming home drunk and starting fights), got a little physical sometimes (pushing and shoving, no hitting) and threats. As far as I know, no intimacy for probably close to 30 years. They belittle each other sometimes and I can feel the tension when I'm over there. Yeah, I think they've made it this far, they shouldn't divorce now, but I thought they should have years ago. I think they still care for each other, but I don't see "love" like you might for people in their early 70s that have been together that long.

Springfield Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Divorce is ugly. Even though I understand why they did it, it still pulls on my heart 30 years later. Denied a traditional childhood. Same with my wife. So hopefully that means we never put our kids through that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Just give them a call PJ, try to talk it out. Worst thing that can happen is they are mad and hang up or don't want to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I didn't say it recently. It was said a few years ago. I can't tell them what to do and I'm glad he stopped drinking and I'm glad as they get older, they have each other around. I just feel like even though it was a "milestone" anniversary, I just don't think a big deal should have been made because of how the marriage has been. But again, I'm projecting without hearing anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was the divorce ugly though they're cool nowadays) but they each found two of the worst people imaginable afterwards. I'm cool with the people that my parents found after the divorce. I hated my step dad at first and for a long time. It was hard for me, as a child, that he was with my mom and not my father. I deeply wanted them to reconcile their differences. My father went on unmarried for a good 15 years after. He moved from city to city. Back to Nova and away. Breaking my young heart every time he moved away. Eventually he met another woman and moved to SF and has been there for somewhere around 15-20 years. I see him every once in a while and we keep up on the phone and skype. In fact, most of my best friends have parents who are divorced or separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom and aunts, when they fight won't speak to each other. Never lasts that long but parents teach kids how to fight and be angry. Imm all for divorce if it's irreconcilable at any stage. But my grandparents were in the old country. They lived in a small town all their lives, where were they gonna go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
