Do you believe in divorce? Why or why not?

Question

Jamie05rhs · Accepted Answer

I do not. I will only divorce a woman if she cheats. Because if she does that, she has already left the marriage. It's over.

Cubus · Accepted Answer

I believe there are certain situations where you can divorce, but nowadays divorce is way overused.

Guy13 · Answer

I do not believe in divorce, however, I know it happens.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Yes, I've seen it. It exists!

SnowedIn · Answer

Divorce exists. It's real. To the point that it's interwoven into the fabric of legal systems the world over, it made it into the Bible, and even the late Queen Elizabeth II endorsed it for her oldest son. Not something to believe/not believe in.

But, yes, divorce needs to exist. I'm not going to do an exhaustive list of all the reasons we should allow divorce (or the more numerous reasons we shouldn't) but there are times when it's necessary. I think the problem is that divorce is overused and the justification behind it is often flimsier than a house of cards. Just as likely, there are probably too many marriages entered into without the long view or an understanding of just how much work a marriage is and how selfless spouses have to be.

Babygirl_S · Answer

No, I don't. I believe in staying with the same person for my entire life. I don't want unnecessary drama. I consider divorce to be a huge failure. I never want to be with a guy who is more interested in walking away than working on any problems that may arise. It is especially bad when children are involved.

Luckily for me I come from a culture where people usually think the same way. Once you're married, you'll be together until death. I have come across a few facts and my conclusion is that since I'm a Hindu girl I should only marry a Hindu man as then the chances of getting divorced will be the lowest possible in the world (1%). I won't ever think of marrying any other type.

Do you believe in divorce? Why or why not?

Very few people know this but we don't like to get divorced.

motownplayer2000 · Answer

Don’t have to believe in it, it’s a thing. Would I do it, I would try to avoid it as best I could. Because divorce heavily favors the woman in 99% of all situations… it’s a headache.. for a guy. Especially if he has got to support a lazy ass mother… even though he would provide so much better for his kids then the woman would in certain situations. That’s why marriage isn't super ideal for men. I’ve always said, long term dating is more beneficial for the man, and marriage is more beneficial for the woman. Why women push so hard for marriage, covering it up as commitment. It’s just so she can tie his ass by the balls and any move she doesn’t like she can penalize him by taking half his hard earned shit and the house.

Anemone978 · Answer

Yeah I got married thinking "well there is always divorce if it doesn't work out"... not the best way to go into a marriage but I wasn't really ready to get married at 22... It was kind of thrown onto me and I was alone in another country so I agreed. It lasted until I literally couldn't handle it any more so I left, alone with nothing and came back to Canada.

CateM · Answer

We need divorce. Many people get married not realizing they weren't meant to be together. Sometimes a marriage can turn toxic and they're miserable being together. There's also domestic violence. A law as archaic and outdated as banning divorce will only damage society

Lliam · Answer

I don't think it should be illegal or anything. In some cases, it makes perfect sense to get divorced.

But I, personally, believe that marriage is a lifetime commitment. It's a solemn promise; vow of honor. So I was very, very careful before I tied the knot. I considered it the most important decision I would ever make. And it worked out.

WindAtMyBack · Answer

No couple should be forced to stay together if it makes them unhappy. I'm totally in favor of the loosened divorce laws that happened in the US back in the 1950s and 60s.

People act like a high divorce rate is bad. I don't see anything wrong with it at all.

Justneedtokno · Answer

I think divorce is the absolute end and solution to failing marriage.
I have my absolutes which are consistently cheating, which is adultery and that’s in the Bible.
I do not condone domestic violence. I will not live in fear of you.
If I find out you are in molester or worse (killer)

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

Would I get one? That would depend on two factors, what transpired in the relationship and if I were to ever get married in the first place. There are a lot of things that would make me file for divorce, most involve people outside of the marriage.

Daniela1982 · Answer

I believe it is viable under certain circumstances. Abandoning your family, or refusing to have sex with your mate and not fulfilling your marital duties are two that come to mind. I assume adultery is also a good reason.

If he fails to provide her with food and clothing (shelter is implied with clothing).
If he refuses to have regular sexual relations with her (sexual defrauded).
If he physically abuses her or makes attempts on her life.
If he abandons her.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

What is there to believe?

Isn’t belief about something abstract that can’t be seen and you still believe it?

How can I not believe in divorce when lots of people divorce everyday.

However, I don’t want to get divorced if I ever marry,

menina · Answer

Marrying someone you truly love and staying with them for the rest of your life must be amazing. However, sometimes a marriage doesn't work and there's no other solution, so people are better off separated. It's not a good thing, it shouldn't happen but it's real. So I believe in it. Why keep forcing yourself to be unhappy or in a toxic or even abusive relationship? It makes no sense to me.

21Cowboy21 · Answer

If one or both people would be happier with other people, or without their current SO - I would say go for it - but hopefully both parties will have signed a prenup in adv of marrying and tying their assets together - or both parties will lose massively overall when divorce lawyers (the only real winners in that realm) get involved.

slatyb · Answer

Of course I believe in it. There are a couple of thousand divorces every in just the US. When divorce was difficult, it was mostly women who suffered.

inhua · Answer

yes as long as the reason is actually legitimate and the problem is unfixable i. e. a wife having some other dude's baby but there's none of the extra bullshit like paying alimony, paying child support, losing child custody, losing assets etc.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I believe in divorce the same way I believe in abortion. I hate that it exists and I think we should do everything in our power to protect and strengthen marriages as much as possible, but I understand the importance and value of divorces and think they are a good thing overall for society.

melanieeeB · Answer

Absolutely if the person isn't good for you, you should fucking leave! (Maybe don't even get married in the first place) but divorce and rejections are a good thing!

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

Absolutely not. It is an escape option and it is necessary at times but I would try to fight even through those…

OfMiceandMen · Answer

If there is no other way, then yes, Two people can't go through life appeasing everyone else and be miserable.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Divorce is something people do because they shouldn't have married that particular person. I'm not blind to what makes me happy, so I'm not making that mistake.

Likes2drive · Answer

I didn’t believe in it but it still happened to me, women file for divorce 70% of the time so inevitable, I didn’t really want to but she did so I’m single now for 7 years now and still looking

admles · Answer

Yes, but it should not be easy.

If a couple has demonstrated they simply cannot be a couple anymore, have exhausted efforts to reconcile (unless of course one cheated, or performed a highly illegal act then it should be automatic), then they should be able to divorce.

What I AM against, is alimony for long periods. One year maximum. Prolonged alimony is akin to slavery.

SlothySlob · Answer

In what sense? That when two people have ripped the marriage papers apart, that their relationship still continues?

Nikki1989 · Answer

Absolutely. Everybody needs an escape plan, and very few things in life last forever.

fonduegirl · Answer

Yes. Know when to quit. There's no use of beating a dead horse. Sometimes you just have to throw in the towel. Not everything's repairable.

bowenw · Answer

In a perfect world people would marry their true loves and live happily ever after. Real life isn't always like that making divorce necessary.

Bricealan · Answer

Well, it was either that, or bury her in the back yard under the grapefruit tree!!!

exitseven · Answer

Yesm some people just do not belong together and they should have the option of splitting up.

ilovepinknipples · Answer

When I get married, I want to be happy with my wife for life. Sometimes there will be problems, but these problems can be solved. I don't think there will be a problem that can separate us from each other.

clampfan101 · Answer

I really want to say no, being the hopeless romantic I am, but there are indeed understandable reasons.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

No. Marriage should be unto death. But I do believe in separation if the people can't get along.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Yes, but divorce is very despised, though halāl and kosher.

Iron_Man · Answer

I believe in trying to fix it and make it right unless they cheat

saffoler · Answer

I believe that if you get married in a church you should get divorced by that church.

Yes. sometimes people grow apart. There is no reason to live in misery!

Makeushiver · Answer

I'm not sure if divorce is an article of faith as much as it is a reality

Nah, let's go back to the times when people were basically forced to stay with their spouses no matter how miserable they were. Great idea!
