my parents divorced after 20 years of marriage in 04.

my dad cheated on my mom.. probably 4 times during the marriage, all of which my mom knew about. in the end, he divorced her, claiming she didn't love him.

he told all of her relatives it was because she turned lesbian. she could give a fuck less.

for what it's worth, as far as I could see growing up, they had a decent marriage. they argued here and there, but nothing too serious. it wasn't until I was old enough to know what was going on, that I could see the discontent. mostly from my dad. but in all fairness, my mom didn't really put that much effort into the marriage. but now that I think about it, I don't blame her.

My parents- married 40 years. (I'm 36)

DaH's story- significantly more complicated.

Us- perfect match.

Go to April in NYC and I'll tell you our "how we met" story. Priceless.

I love being around my bf's family. I've never seen a closer family with so much love. I go over there even if he's not there. That feeling of family is missed so much.
I was about the same age. While I felt nothing about my parents' separation immediately, to this day whenever I'm around a family that really works well it feels surreal to me.

I was an accident ( I fought my way through a condom and birth control pills). My parents were only together four months before my Mom became pregnant. She refused to marry him just because she was pregnant. They finally married when I was 1 1/2. They are still going strong. I think I have only heard two major fights over the years. This year will be their 25th wedding anniversary.

My parents divorced about 3 years ago and at that time they were a couple of years away from being married for 20 years. I learned 3 things from the divorce: live with the person that you think you're gonna marry for at least a year, once a cheater always a cheater (dad), and once you go black you never go back (mom).

Yes, I was.. It makes me wary of using either of those as birth control methods.

Never married. I'm a bastard. They stopped dating when i was 6/7
What happened with my mom's husband (My brother & sister's dad) is a much more interesting story...
