How many couples have split?

[RICH-I-AM]

Is there something about people in their 30's splitting up?
In the last year 4 solid couple friends in my life have split up.

One couple, one of them has a life threatening ilness and got better and decided to destroy a 16 year marrage pretty much over night.

Two had an afair and it all ended badly.

One decided she'd had enough and wanted something else in life.


Have you noticed a sudden rise in seperations or has it been this way always?

My mum left home when i was a child and i remember feeling a bit of an outcast when i was at school.

Seems most of the kids at school have single parents nowadays.

3 out of 4 of these were ended by the woman.

My other half and i are struggling a little caused by a bout of relationship paranoya i had in 2009. Its getting better and i hope to sort it eventualy so we are happy again.

Thing is, looking around, it looks like people are giving up to easily these days and i hope we dont end up following the trend.

Friend is separating from his wife after 10 years - his was down to the fact that he wanted children, she works in the city and wanted a career....think he feels cheated as, whilst never stipulated he had assumed getting married and settling down would lead to a family but that's not what she wanted - probably best this way than having kids and it happening 5 years down the line

Have been with my girlfriend for 12 years and getting on better than ever! I think not getting married in the first place is the key!!! :lol:

i think sum women settle down thinkin thats what they want , they go on that way for a while and the 30 summit bodyclock kicks in and they wanna be 18 again and when that all goes pearshaped they wanna have the life back they just threw away.

just an opinion on sum things i have observed an maybe been through in my experience :roll:

However there are exceptions to the rule ( well thats what ive heard , from a very reliable fella down the pub anyway).

OH no i opened my mouth again and pure ***** came out, time will tell what ozziedog gotta say bout this!!

(i thought this thread could do with some lightening up)

Probably something to do with this big planetary alignment and magnetic poles shift that's supposed to be happening this year, a big year for change and dawning of a new age..... if you believe all that hippie stuff. ; )

 

[john the horse]

Been with my wife for 18 years. Married 2003, kids 2006/2009.

If we have an argument we never ever let it brew over night, we both knew we wanted to have kids so never had this kids/career barrier. How anyone could put a career before having kids is beyond me, I appreciate you need money to have kids (unless you are scrounging off the government) but what good is your career when you're a lonley old pensioner in a carehome.

People just need to be honest with each other from the start, if problems arise during a relationship nip them in the bud quick, anything can be sorted. If another woman/man gets involved then that is difficult but at the end of the day it's all about trust.

I trust my wife implicitly, just not when she's driving.

Well if you believe the Mayans we are all doomed on the 21st December? i think. Dont know what time though :| .

I think i'll take the wife and kids out for a fish and chips and a nice pint of stout, just incase.

I hate her and she hates me, but its all my fault :lol:

I love her to death, but i could kill her at least thrice a week if i could get away with it! :lol:

:lol: my girlfriend is like that. She text me 1 morning saying she nearly got an electric shock when the toaster at work shorted out. Later on that morning I cut the end off my finger whilst repairing a tractor, I rung her saying what had happened whist en route to a&e and her reply was 'you did that on purpose to out do my electric shock story!'

:lol:

Woman eh...
