How many of you ‘younger’ folk have had traditional upbringings, ie both parents living together?
Just to inject some positivity and happiness into this thread:
My mam and dad are still happily married. Both sets of my grandparents also stayed together until death they did part. Same for my wife’s parents and grandparents. I’m 36.
Of our best friends, none of their parents are divorced and they themselves are married and undivorced.
I think there’s something to be said for the idea of marriage and divorce as a meme. We were the first of our social circle to get married, at 21 and 22, but lots of our friends got married very soon afterward at relatively young ages. (It’s our 15th wedding anniversary in August, but we’ll have been together for 23 years in June.)
