Maybe it was because parts were changing?

I\'m hoping to help out a co-worker who\'s wife is considering divorce. His wife chooses to work longer hours at her restaurant, on call 7 days a week too. Even on her off days, she goes to work to be sure it\'s fine. They\'re drifting apart. Not coz he wants a divorce but that SHE\'S considering it. He\'s a laid back kinda guy who\'s there for her when she comes home but she\'s too tired to even notice.

I told him that they\'re both young and that she might be making a mistake once she realizes that staying an extra 6 hours at work should not cut in to a marriage.

He\'s really hurting.

In your case, at least you\'re not too young. Do you have younger siblings?

If your parents have only just seperated then there is still a chance of reconciliation. \'Most\' cases they seperate and then decide for a divorce weeks or months later, not just like "honey, Im home, I want a divorce".

Let them cool down and it may just work out ok.

My dad says that the ball is in my mom\'s court. If she decides to get a divorce, thats whats gonna happen. I hope she decides against it, atleast until I get into college.

if the divorce is up to the woman, it\'s over

whats the difference if you are in college?

yea, if it happens in college it will be just added stress, to your schooling, and you don\'t need that either

That\'s bad news man, it sucks that your parents are probably getting divorced.  My parents got divorced before I can even remember anything (I was like 1 or something).  But I wish they never divorced as my stepdad is a major dickhead.  But I get to see my dad whenever I want to, but I don\'t know what i\'d do if I had to go that now like you have to.

Sorry to hear it bro.

I\'m in high school for 2 more years, jounior and senior year. It sounds pointless to go to a new school, leave the people I grew up with and make new friends for one or two years. Its stupid. Atleast when I\'m in college, I won\'t be living at home and off on my own.

So you want them to stay married and miserable for you? Wow thats really selfish I mean maybe if you were 4 or 10 but you like 16 right I mean they probably feal your old enough to handle it.

Agree\'d. That\'s the most ignorant and selfish thing I have heard in awhile.

Yea it my be selfish, but jesus I\'m sure you\'d love for your parents to get divorced regardless of reasons. No one wants to see there parents get divorced it is a mess for everyone not just himself.

I\'m not being selfish. We were gonna move as a family two years ago but they said they want me to stay in my high school. Anyway, it may look like it may not happen. And if it does my mom says she will try to get me to stay in my school. I didn\'t say that they have to stay together either because of me. My mom even told me once that this would have happened three years ago but she stayed because she wants me to stay with my friends. You guys don\'t know whats going on in my house so stop saying i\'m selfish and ignorant.
