Now remarried with a toddler. Most, if not all that had gotten married in their early 20's ended in divorce. Now they're remarried and have been for awhile. I was one of the last to have a baby, so a lot of my friends already have kids in school and have been married (or remarried) for awhile now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1089040 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:01:44 +0000 cheert16 1089040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF is legally separated from her husband and they have been tetering on the edge for awhile now. I think they will try to work things out, but will ultimately get divorced in the end. It's super sad to watch though....</p> <p>Edit- thy have been married since 2010 and have a two year old son </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1088554 Sun, 15 Sep 2013 18:51:42 +0000 dc yoga bee 1088554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are the second couple out of our friends to get married on his side, and I'm the first to get married on my side of friends and I was just shy of 25 and he was almost 26. We are all just now graduating from grad school, so they'll probably start getting married in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1081169 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 22:15:24 +0000 JamieLee 1081169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of DH's good friends got divorced after being married about six months. We all kind of saw that one coming. He's on his second marriage now and everyone kind of wonders how long this one will last as well. DH's cousin also divorced after a few months of marriage. Another of his cousins just got divorced after his wife of 13 years told him out of the blue she didn't love him and maybe never had. That was really sad.</p> <p>Of my friends, I don't think I could predict anyone that won't make it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1080829 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:59:24 +0000 HLK208 1080829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 in my circle of friends this year. All between 25-30. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1080826 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:57:43 +0000 MrsF 1080826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of my good friends were divorced before I was even married (late 20s) :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1080815 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:53:48 +0000 blackbird 1080815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's happening and while it could be sad on one hand, the people I know who are getting divorced are liberated by the experience. One of my closest friends IRL has never felt freer and more like who she was meant to be. And I am 100% happy for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1080785 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:42:43 +0000 pui 1080785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far nobody in my circle of friends who are married are divorced or getting a divorce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word/page/2#post-1080676 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:52:19 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1080676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of our friends are still single! Out of the handful of friends who are married only one is separated (family friends and<br /> not our regular circle of friends). I'm just hoping for some more weddings in the near future (and no divorces)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080654 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:47:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 1080654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're young to be married / having kids so most of our friends are just now getting married. We do have some older couple friends that we have met after they got married. I don't want to think about any of them getting divorced! Perhaps it's naive but I can't think of any of them that won't make it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080642 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:43:33 +0000 californiadreams 1080642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one in my circle is getting divorced. Though I have one friend who cheated shortly after she got married and now they have a baby. I also have several friends who have been in relationships for a long but never got married and probably never will </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080634 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:40:55 +0000 Rubies 1080634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, sadly. 2009 marriage, 2011 split. Both parties were our friends but the wife, my former friend, was the one to leave. It's very disappointing to everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080630 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:39:29 +0000 Running Elley 1080630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is divorced (she was REALLY young when she got married) due to infidelity on her ex's part. DH's brother is also divorced (he's my age but also for married right out of HS).</p> <p>No one in our actual circle of friends has gotten divorced though and some of them have been married 5+ years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080617 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:35:29 +0000 ChitownRo 1080617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily none here. I am hopeful that our group will beat the odds - and some stats help us like college+ education, late 20s at marriage, etc.</p> <p>This is a sad thread though.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080602 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:32:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1080602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just siblings. Any friends were either divorced before I knew them or are still together.</p> <p>I should add that most of my friends got married in their 30's, so maybe that has something to do with the lack of divorce? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080553 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:20:07 +0000 Pink Champagne 1080553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it's happened. It's the circle of life.</p> <p>And those who think "oh, none of MY friends will EVER get divorced," might be unpleasantly surprised, particularly if your friends got married very young. People change, they make bad decisions... Not everyone handles life transitions in a "we will work through this together because we made a VOW!" Type of way. It's awful, and you hope it never happens, especially to your friends, but lets be realistic here... You don't know the inner workings of other people's relationships. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080521 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:12:34 +0000 StbHisMrs 1080521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I are both on our second marriage, both long ugly processes. His was infidelity on her part, and mine was because of abuse. I have one friend that has been married for 30+ years who's going on a 1.5 year divorce process. Ugly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080451 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:51:28 +0000 chopsuey 1080451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad :(<br /> So far no divorces in our circle of friends/family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080405 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:37:10 +0000 winniebee 1080405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BF also got divorced a few years ago. They'd been married 7 years, no kids, but it was UGLY. And sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080403 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:36:39 +0000 Amelieisme 1080403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BF got a divorce a couple of years ago. I was friends with both of them from beginning to end of the relationship so it was pretty sad, but she was unhappy and much better off now.</p> <p>My sister is going through a divorce now. They have 3 kids, 5 and under so its very sad. He is a complete lunatic/sociopath so it's for the best, but the divorce is not pretty. I feel so sorry for my nephews caught on the middle :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080392 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:32:13 +0000 Penny Lane 1080392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm really the only one of my friends who is married, so none on my side yet (but i'm still young!) DH was one of the last of his friends to get married, and all of his friends are still together -- most with 3+ kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080277 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:28:27 +0000 sarac 1080277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, a few in my circle. I was really shocked at some of them. I never felt old when all of my friends started marrying and having babies. But now that some of us are divorcing and getting cancer, now I'm starting to feel old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080268 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:17:19 +0000 runsyellowlites 1080268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's sad. :(</p> <p>I'm the only one in our group that as a history of divorce (due to abuse). We have heard that divorce tends to travel in packs though (since it's such a mindset of acceptable or not) and most of our friends just don't think divorce is an option outside repeated infidelity or abuse. *shrugs shoulders* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080264 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:15:03 +0000 loveisstrange 1080264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who is divorced and has been for years already. He and his wife got married very young.</p> <p>Only a few of our circle are even married, so he's the only one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080260 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:12:49 +0000 Vegmama 1080260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, two of our best friends got divorced this year ... Business wise (we're wedding photographers) 4 or 5 of our couples have gone through a divorce. </p> <p>A lot of our friends aren't married though, and we're having a lot of our older friends (we're all nearing 30) that are breaking up after being together for years &amp; years. Very sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080197 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:48:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1080197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we just had our first 2 in our group of friends. One I was a bridesmaid in (I'm not really shocked as they were more friends than lovers) and the other is for hte best as the husband I feel is emotionally abusive and just a prick (has been since high school.) </p> <p>It's hard, DH and I talk about relationship stuff all the time, we never threaten divorce &amp; just have a good overall communication about stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080085 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:19:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 1080085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.. The two I know are in process are both due to infidelity. And the cheater left the marriage in both cases. Kids involved. So sad. And I know it's just the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080083 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:19:01 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1080083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I can only think of 2 couples that are friends (and I'm in my early 30s). The first wasn't surprising (yet still sad), and the second was a shock. Unfortunately it was due to domestic violence :( I'm very glad she left and is much happier now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080080 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:18:45 +0000 Bookish 1080080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nobody around us yet... All of our friends are either still single or have been married/in partnerships for 5+ years. Hopefully I will be seeing more marriages and not divorces in the next few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-happening-around-us-the-d-word#post-1080071 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:17:29 +0000 Dandelion 1080071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on my second marriage...I actually don't know anyone else close to me that has gone through it. </p>
