But most divorcing couples are not in that situation.

How do you know?????????

There are no statistics that I am aware of......because in any state with no-fault laws, "incompatability" is the grounds.

And from my personal experience with divorcing and divorced friends, the vast majority are not merely unhappy with some aspect of their life situations and are unwilling to stick it out? Heck that described me, I was unhappy with the aspect of my life situation that included going to the emergency room, and having a gun put to my face. You bet I was unhappy.

Getting a divorce on the grounds of abuse or adultery involves public police reports or lots of money for private investigators, or both. No-fault laws have eliminated those obstacles, thankfully.

So in answer to your ridiculous question: Do you deny that most marriages ending in "incompatability" do so because the participants are merely unhappy with some aspect of their life situations and are unwilling to stick it out?

YES. And for the reasons I expressed above and in previous posts. Having to admit to being abused or cuckolded is embarrassing for most normal people.

I won't deny that many folks abuse the system just because, but I disagree that MOST people getting divorced do so.

You have every right to dislike and disapprove of divorce, but remember, you've got no knowledge of the circumstances behind it.

Please don't take offese, this is not personal, but I've been there, done it, until you've walked in the shoes of someone like me.........STFU.

You don't know my life situation. I have never said you should stay in a marriage where you are being physically abused. And I still believe you are wrong in saying that most people do not abuse the system (your words).

I certainly know many people who have divorced, and the vast majority have to do with simple unhappiness, not being slapped across the room.

I'm sorry that happened to you. No one ahould have to put up with that kind of abuse. But does that give you leave to be verbally abusive to me?

Amen! Looking down the barrel of a gun is not an experience I want to repeat. Thank God he was too drunk to pull back the slide.
