Default Re: Surrounded by seperation

Divorce happens. People change and discover they are no longer compatible with each other. This doesn't make them evil.

This is your family. They need your support. It's unlikely that associating with them will do anything to your marriage, unless there's already issues between you and your wife. Cutting yourself off from them will do nothing but make you look like an ass. They will feel that you think you are better than they are, and it sounds like they might be right.

I'm going through a divorce right now. My wife and I are not compatible. What do you think would be better? Me and her staying together and being miserable for the next 50 years, or us divorcing now and not being miserable for the next 50 years? Seems like a no brainer to me. There's nothing cowardly about it. Also, since when is making a mutual decision that will make both parties happy, selfish?

Please don't abandon these people, even if you don't approve of their decisions. People need support in these situations. They are already going through a lot, they don't need to have their other family turning against them.
