How many people have been divorced ?

Just want to know how many people have been divorced on this site?

I will start, I have been divorced once after 7 years. I am currently going through a very hard breakup after 4 years. We were not married but might as well been.

I was married almost 1 year the first time. been married about 4 years now.

Might as well have been married to my ex.... but thank god I didn't actually marry her. You really don't know a person until you've lived with them, and then moved out... that's when you find out who they truly are and what they're actually capable of.

Been married now for a little over 5 years.

I've watched as friends of mine have married and divorced like they rented movies... each time they lost more and more of their stuff.... and more and more of themselves.

About five years ago I witnessed probably the ugliest divorce of which I'm aware... the guy I worked for (and lived across the street from) and my best friend (his ex-wife with whom I work now) split after 11 years. Trust me, as bad as you feel... and as rough as it is... things could definetely be MUCH worse.

So sit back, have a beer... get cable... take a long ride on your quad... and just think about all those skirts you can chase now and not get in trouble

Ride Safe, and cheer up

Been married 15 years now. Never been divorced, never even been close. I have family members and friends that have been through it for a big variety of reasons though. Often a very tough thing to go through, sometimes I have seen it actually be something that was a positive move for both.

If you are having a truly hard breakup after 4 years, and if it is very hard for both of you, you might think about looking into trying to fix what is broken, but only if it is a situation of it being very tough for both. Don't overlook the option of seeking outside help.

The Holiday season tends to bring out the most testing times in newer relationships. Just the smallest of stressful situations tend to get compounded.

Hey Chuck and Mike, thank you for the advice. I've been stuck on this damn tug boat for the whole ordeal so far, so I haven't been able to sit down and talk to her. I know I have problems with marriage and I am going to get outside help as soon as I get home, and hopefully be able to talk to her about things. Thanks again and I am so glad I found this site.

I hope things work out, if that is what you want. But if they don't , it is not the end of the world. You will find someone else.

Just remember rebel that a truely long and successful relationship is strongly based on compromise. It is full of give and take and both parties involved must learn to do both. If both of you guys are willing to always compromise with each other and "give and take" to each others needs (with no strings attached), then it is probably worth fighting for.
Good luck and follow your heart as well as your instinct.

Or just go out and get a few new girlfriends!

My x-wife decided to divorce me when I was deployed to Iraq for the second time. I said I would never get married again, But met the love of my life and have been remarried for one year. I feel very blessed.

I'll be married for 3 years this Feb 10th. It's been really good to the both of us. I'm a smart ass so I threaten divorce all the time. The wifey knows I'm only kidding. You gotta be able to make fun of yourself and your spouce in my book to keep a sane marriage. Well, it may not work for everyone, but this works for the two of us......Mikey
