My parents separated when I was 13. They were supposed to reunite in Puerto Rico. But my father found out my mother was being abusive. He eventually took us away starting with me first. It was hard for him on his own. He was at first living in a studio. Slowly he made enough to get a bigger home. Afterwards They never lived together again and officially divorced when I was 19/20
I think my mom was abroad for a few years and they just never really cared enough. My dad's proposal was "We've been dating for a while now, do you want to get married?" He didn't even get an engagement ring.
Mi parents get married when she was 18 & he 20. Hey stay together. Get divorce when I was 17... But they remarried 5 year later. They when together until my dad passed away, when he was 47. 8 yeas ago from now. My Mom don't have intensions to get remarried. This year she sat thinking to get a boyfriend. But nothing yet
I think I was a pre-teen when my parents divorced. My father got married I think it was either early this year? Either that or towards the end of last year. My mom has stayed single. Like me. Except I jokingly say that she's seeing Jesus. 😅
maybe around 13 years old or younger. they tried to be separated which prolonged the pain felt and finally just got divorced. i'm still not over it. they'll never get remarried but they're both in relationships 🙄
I was 16 when the6y got divorced. Both had relationship later on. Mom did not marry again. Dad - I'm not interested to find out :D - he must be dead meanwhile; but I'm not sure.
Ye unhappily married. Codependency and Stubbornness all that's holding them together. That's why I believe marriage is bullshit. That's why I believe family values are bullshit. That's why believe most people don't belong having children unless they're ready to sacrifice 20+ years on those little hoes.
Look how many people here have parents that stayed together 20, 30, 40, 50, and even 60 years. There are indeed some bad examples including your own, but many many wonderful and healthy examples.
@TrueConfection possibly there are some healthy examples. I just don't believe that the nuclear family is a functional unit anymore, people, children, adolescents need more than just two authoritarian role models in their life.

Still married, been married since 1984, and dated for 7 years before that.
7 years was a long time to wait!

Hahaha! He knew she loved him!
They were still married. They made it to their 50th anniversary shortly before my mom past away.
Sweet 💕 My condolences on the passing of your mom.
Thank you.

No they were divorced when I was 1 I didn't meet my real dad till I was 27
My parents were married for 56 years when my Dad passed away.
That a really long time!
It's a shame they didn't make it to 60, but they had a good run!
No and yes. My folks divorced in '83. Both remarried. I'd like to keep the details at that.
Understood!
I think I was 19, don’t remember as I wasn’t living at home.
No, they didn’t remarry.
My mother and father never got married. Separated when I was born. Haven’t seen my father since i was 11 and asked him to stop calling me.
That's tough. I'm sorry.
u all good
