It'd be better to just split up... that way the kids won't have to hear them fightin' all the time.

Idiotic.. i guess depending on the severity of the problems..

It can make the kid worse and give way to them adopting the same behaviors that they witness between the parents..on a daily basis..

I never understood that saying. "I dont want to hurt the kids". Wouldn't the kids still be fucked up in the head seeing daddy and mommy fight for 18+ years, knowing neither really wants to be with each other?

Or the famous "let's just stay together until the kids go to college then we'll go our separate ways" like the kids still won't be fucked up in the head then......its just instead of divorcing when they were 5 and being happy for the last 15 years, you just postponed the heartache for 15 years.....all of which were complete hell by the way.

I agree with everything especially the bolded

I think its really just an excuse 2 people who realize they made a mistake..attempting to justify not getting a divorce.
They may both share the feeling that divorce brings "disgrace" to their cookie cutter lives.

Financially it's smart. And it depends on the age of the kids. Young kids aren't that perceptive, so I understand it. Early high school and onward, fuck it. They can tell anyways.

it can really turn the kid off from having kids or a family. You better off splitting up, man i was reading that fighting in front of your children is a form of abuse shit can really fuck a little kids head up sometimes.

Yeah. This.

Besides....in some cases couples do mend the rift in their relationship over the course of staying together for the kids.

I don't think me and my girl stay together specially for the kids, but I'm not sure we'd be together still if we didn't have them.

Nah, my brother in law and his wife been going through it. She's cheated on him at least three times (that we know of), and the last time was with his sister's husband. And they still together, surprisingly. They came up for my son's elementary school graduation, and he told me that he wanted to try and make it work for the kids, because he knew how he felt when his moms and pops got divorced. I tried to understand, but couldn't. This broad just disrespected you and your family, and you trying to make it work for the kids? And it ain't like everything was swept under the rug. They fight just as much as ever, if not more. And their kids cried when it was time to go back to their house in Florida, because, like my wife said, they must not be used to being in a house where it ain't all that fighting and tension. Kids can pick up on that.

It was done for years and with the way things are regarding the family unit I'm not sure if it's always a bad idea unless it's an abusive relationship. Mom & Dad in their lives every day>>>weekend visits or barely seeing dad at all. 2 parent households are so much easier to manage.

I was in my own world when I was young. My parents' marriage ended probably around the age of 7 they got divorced at 14. I wasn't paying attention to shit. Looking back I see it now.

But they never fought in front of me, so I guess that's probably why. I would hop a couple would have the sense of mind to not fight in front of their kids regardless of the health of their relationship.

That's true. I try to minimize how much I hear about the shenanigans with my wife's family, but honestly, a lot of it is too much comedy to ignore, ergo the brother in law/sister in law hookup. But my wife has told me that they fight about that in front of the kids!!! I'm like, dude, if you that salty about it, just leave! Instead of staying around fighting in front of the kids on the regular. In fact, the second time that she messed around on him, he came by one time and was spitting about "my miserable life", and all that. And I had to stop him, like, "yo, my man, I feel you, but I really ain't trying to hear all this. You had a chance to bounce when she stepped out on you. But you stuck around, made another seed with her. You can't be complaining now"

My parents are divorced and they hate each other. ..

As much as it fucked me up, if they didn't get divorced I would be more fucked up than I am now.

Your biggest issue was only seeing him on weekends? He didn't come around during the week? Anyway.

You're lucky even though you don't know it. You avoided a ton of awkward moments of not knowing why those two bone heads weren't talking, why they weren't looking at each other, why everybody couldn't be in one room. You'd have been dragged into the petty arguments too. I hate to say it but I'm glad mine eventually got divorced. I'd have been one confused individual who thinks marriage is supposed to be miserable.

Separate and be happy. Someone else could be out there who is right for you. I asked this to someone before. "Are those financial reasons really worth the price of your sanity?".
