Is Divorce Contagious?

I think once the Children ar grown and the Nest empties, many couples take stock and realize that through all the years they have done what they were supposed to do together...raise the children and get them ready for the world..many may feel it is time for another adventure and sadly they do not try to see if they can transform their lives together rather than separately...maybe it is not natural for most people to stay with one person...maybe a certain percentage of people want to find different Soul Mates to share each part of their lives with...we do change...we are always changing actually...and many people change to where they feel they have become incompatible..i am a hopeless romantic and always hope people will decide to re-discover eachother as they move through the phases of life...but that takes a lot of work and devotion and willingness for things to get messy before things get better...sadly, if a couple can make it through the messy part, they will have the deepest and richest relationship there is..it is hard work and many are too tired to go through it or one party may be unwilling ....

In most relationships, growing tired of the other person is inevitable(key word being MOST). Some people choose to stay in an unhappy marriage out of moral obligations, others choose to divorce and move on.
I think that seeing her father get a divorce may have reminded Karenna that it's an available option, and that it's okay to seperate with somebody if your relationship is no longer a happy one.

he is a fake idiot make she got it better late than never

Women are being fed a daily diet from the media-their peers-and Hollywood, that their lives would be better if only they were divorced from their mates. The opposite is more often the case, and the impact of them being hood-winked into believing such nonsense is greatest on any children that may have been born during the marriage.

There is a saying that I think is apt in this situation: Birds of a feather, flock together.

Keep friends that have failed at marriage, and you're likely to develop the same loser attitude and ideas as them.

divorce should be illegal and anyone who divorces should be stoned to death

Not sure that I would go as far as stoning them, but I think most of them are scum.

Divorce should be illegal. Then maybe religious people would finally shut up

no I don't think so, just people who grew apart and don't have anything in common anymore, the love they felt once for each other is not there, continue living together could be a matter of convenience, but that doesn't really work so at the end of the day, the best decision is to go in different ways.

divorce should be illegal

lol!!

I know it might just be coincidence but ever since my great great grandma have been divorce, my great grandma was too then my grandpa was, then my mum... so maybe it's in the genes or something!



Hopefully I won't get divorced though.

then use your head when you date

Ha, thanks.

I've never been married - cuz I've always feared divorce.

not only fear divorce ... be very afraid of it

This is one of those only if you let. It like this some one has a hard time and can seem to connect to there other. They go visit a friend and they start talking and the friend is on about how so much happier she is. That some one wants to be happy and instead of working for it the go the easy way out and know they won't be alone in this they have their friend who is in the same position,

About time she got away from that fool,he believe's his own lie's.....Will aleast she'll come away with alot of money .Time she was paid for staying with him all these's year's.
A fool and his money, are soon parted.......He's in love with himself,she gave him the best part of her life, now he has no time for her........just his own agenda,and she don't
play the roll of a young wife anymore.....That's sad for her........

I wouldn't know. But I haven't caught the 'divorce bug' yet!

"Hey Mom and Dad are getting a divorce. You know that's a heck of an idea, I'm going to divorce that idiot I'm married to also,"

It's not the contagious, the people doing it are.

not gay people. those poor sweethearts aren;t even allowed to marry.

divorce should be illegal

lol

no, I wish them both well

She left him because the Global Warming Scam has shown what a lying loser he is and he will soon lose his money. Look the hypocrite got a home on the California coast overlooking oil rigs. She took a powder before his money went poof and he is put in jail for cheating us all!

Is Divorce Contagious? NOPE, just more common! Vows and Oaths are easily broken these days in many more ways then just to each other!

It's so easy to do,because we've become a disposable society!If it doesn't work,don't bother with trying to repair it,just trash it and get a new one!

According to Dr Phil you have to work your way out of a bad marriage. Do everything you can before divorcing. It depends on the situation. I divorced after 15 yrs, luckily I had no children. I've been married 24 yrs this time, my son just graduated from college. I don't think there's any magic bullet to keep a marriage successful just a lot of hard work & commitment

You are correct. A lot of hard work, and some real commitment from both partners.

Naw! It's not contagious. But! it looks like it can run in the family. HA!
Gore sure doesn't look very happy in the photo either!

No! My sister and both brothers in law have each experienced a divorce. My wife and I are the eldest children and we have been married for 25yrs. My mom and dad are still together after 52 years and my mother in law and father in law were married 50 years and he died one day after their 50th. Divorce to me is not an answer.

word

No, it isn't./ But stupidity is.

Contagious? You bet. Rush Limbaugh, RW protector of the sanctity of marriage,
has caught it four times. Number five is just months away.
Poor slob, he just seems to get reinfected every couple years.

No.

A divorce is not a yawn.

Consider it a sign that the Gore women aren' t completely dumb!

It's not contagious. But it seems to give permission to friends and family as a way to get out of an uncomfortable situation.

There are so many things in this life that are contagious like STD's and other transmitable diseases, Stupidity, fear and ignorance....All contagious sentiments...
But divorce???
i don't know.
i suppose if people want to use that as an excuse or validation of their own feelings...
A way out sort to speak..If they see someone else doing it, then maybe they think, 'if they can do it, so can I".
I guess...

It's also a known statement that girls tend to marry someone like their father... if Tipper get fed up with Al and is splitting, maybe Karenna finally had it with Schiff. Also family and people who hang out together often have similar coping skills even though we'd like to think we learned from other's mistakes... we have to make our own (mistakes).

No. Divorce is what two people do so they don't kill each other!!!
