Can a divorce be considered as a positive thing in life? What are the things that your have learnt in your divorce, parents divorce or even friends divorce? We always talk about the disadvantages of a divorce, what about the advantages now?

I'm not married yet and i hope i won't have to divorce coz i love my boy friend lots. A friend of mine got married at 17 and she divorced a year and 2 mths after, she told me that she learnt somethign very important: " Never get married too young!!!"

Evreything according to me can be considered as a positive thing depending on the way you take it. You should never abandon when you find that something is being difficult, that's all

First of all welcome to the forum.
I like to say that everything happens for a reason therefore better take the best from it, what do you think my dear??

Totally agree marriage too young is a disaster for maturity cause when you really know what you want, you're already stuck with someone that you don't love anymore!!Too late,too bad!!

My sister waited until she was 26 to get married. She thought she had found her "soul-mate!" He put on quite the act during the whole dating process and they seemed pretty happy for the first few months of marriage. Pretty soon everything changed and he started showing his true colors. She tried to adjust but couldn't. The funny thing is that he ended up divorcing her. She even begged him to take her back. She had lost so much weight is was disgusting. It took months before she was the healthy person she once was before the marriage. So youth has nothing to do with it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You just have to hope that you know the "real" person before you say "I do." Good luck!

Are you old at 26? You will consider me as a grandma then? In normal countries people are young until the age of 30 or more What are your views about that?

Hi Tornado!
even i am not married, not yet and i don't know if i ever will get married because i don't trust men enough, well not yet atleast. having been disappointed in life by the closest man to me, my father, it is difficult for me to cope and i have made many mistakes. mistakes which i might not have made had i not been rejected by my parents who "happily" divorced each other and set about making their lives separately, forgetting to include me in it. dad got married to this woman and ma got married to that rich guy and both of them forgot about me. i became more of a burden that they had to lug around. so seriously, my parents' divorce hasn't been such a great experience for me. it still hurts like hell today and i feel left out, incomplete.

i wish i could see things in this way, then that wouldn't stop me from getting so uptight about my parents' divorce.

So we don't marry at all isn't it? That's a very bad thing. You are scaring me people. I want to marry my boy friend and have kids. Do you think it is a bad thing, i'm still young too ...
