Divorce not a moral failure? The breach of a solemn oath is no big deal? Three times?

Both my parents have been married and divorced twice. Believe you me, it did not happen because they were virtuous, nor innocent.

One person can be making a solemn vow to the spouse and to G-d, and the other one can have a different take on it entirely.

However, that one gets divorced does not necessarily imply that he or she has poor morals. Many people get divorced because of physical or verbal abuse, addiction, or other similar situations over which they have no control.

For example, my mother filed from divorce from my father. He wanted to remain married. However, he was also the one who was abusive. In her instance, divorce was the moral decision, because it ensured a much better life for herself and her children.

You can't lie to the children. They know the truth. I hate when the parents say, "WE love you, just not each other anymore". Such bull. If they loved the children they wouldn't divorce. The kids know who is at fault and why. Divorce is a moral failure. Sorry you had to go through 2 divorces.
