Gonna say it again...ONE OF US ONE OF US! 😋 We will take you...not like those weird Tasmanians 😋. Tasmanians are just kiwis who can't swim I've told Customs about you.

My wife's brother and his wife are - we've just found out - effectively separated. They're still living together, and their daughters don't know. They're just not "together". They are - apparently - living different lives. They've been having trouble for a long time, nearly 8 years or so, by my count. So - the question; is staying together "for the kids" something that should be done these days? My feeling is no. It's not the 60s. If they publicly separate/divorce, then their daughters will - hopefully - get to grow up watching them have happy, healthy relationships with new partners. If they don't my feeling is they'll get an extremely warped view of what a relationship is supposed to be. Opinions? Ok. Hard question time. Is there correct answer for this? I'd say not likely. I think there is a time and a place for "staying together for the kids". I also think there is a time limit to an extent. (Obviously, issues like domestic violence, dependency issues, financial issues aside). Ultimately, I believe as parents we are responsible for protecting our children from things that will not benefit their wellbeing, and continuing "staying together for the kids" will benefit no one long term. Not saying that seperating is easy, I've seen up close the lifelong effects this can have on others. Relationships change over time, and if they've grown in different directions, you miss the opportunity to show positive outcomes and being able to come out more resilient from a difficult time. Obviously this is not the case, just trying to generalise it all.

For Easter - nothing, this year. We're normally away on a family trip I take due to work (which I realise sounds odd, but that's how it is). This year, the event that usually takes me away (and lets me bring my family along) isn't happening, so we're at home, which is just fine. Serious question time (because I've had a bit to drink - shocking, I know); My wife's brother and his wife are - we've just found out - effectively separated. They're still living together, and their daughters don't know. They're just not "together". They are - apparently - living different lives. They've been having trouble for a long time, nearly 8 years or so, by my count. So - the question; is staying together "for the kids" something that should be done these days? My feeling is no.

If they don't my feeling is they'll get an extremely warped view of what a relationship is supposed to be. Opinions? Is more honest to make a cut, talk to the kids and arrange it so everyone can see the kids. My father left once I "grew up" - I think I would have preferred an honest separation at ealier point.

Are they staying together "just for the kids" or is it economically more feasible? Are they looking into a divorce? Are they able to put up with each other? ..and honestly, that kind of thing can get tedious...depending on how they are getting along together, it may end up being worse for the kids, than better. Trust me on this.

What sin do you find most abhorrent in others? For me its pride. I've been harmed by people who I was once closed to because of their pride. It does warm my heart though to see them suffer because of it. :3 Also would you be willing to have a furry thread on this site? Me all the time!

BTW lust is the worst imo and I won't forgive the current entertainment industry and internet for promoting it so hard. Wrath and envy are technically the worst tho... lust is the worst one, in fact in this day an age lust is the most common one among people. pride is fun and greed is a gray territory. ^

I suppose there are limits. I have more of a problem with how much violence is promoted in the entertainment industry, especially when it's shock gore that really doesn't add much to the story, other than attempting to gross a viewer out. Movies like AvP:R, Hostel, Saw...etc...have no real purpose, except to make the audience cringe. The internet itself has had some terrible violence on it that was actually real : a girl crushing a kittens head under her foot, a guy chopping off his wife's head, a soldier shooting a young boy in the head...etc. All things I have come across, and that are way worse than the sex found the entertainment industry. Mind you, things like snuff porn and child porn are not included in this because even though it promotes sex, it's main purpose is to promote violence.

Too much promiscuity, too few "naive" or untouched by pron & stuff people and we have the rise of divorce from 10% to 50% in the 1st world and even developing countries... plus the rise of all the super gross and weird sexualities that are about kids, animals, the dead etc. 50% divorce rate... hmm, no wonder the society is so screwed barely anyone dares to marry or have children these days. Things got really worse since after the 90s. Even stuff was relatively fine till mid 2000s ( coincides with people having access to slow Dial-up internet and no smart-phones).

What would you do if these furries crashed your wedding? Mentally debate over what reaction from my spouse is better... fury or furiosity?
(Also how long would be considered "Too Soon" to start making jokes, if I don't want to spend our honeymoon on the sofa?)
Motherfucker....did you just call me an Australian...? *Has the same reaction when called "European"*

There is many problems considering this. Overpopulation is actually the problem of the 3rd world countries or previous 3rd world. Plus China and India have a serious abortion problem that has caused their male to female born ratio very troublesome. Maybe close to 20% of their men won't find any girl to marry in their countries. Then there is the childlessness problem (more in Europe than America)... and high population density in some European countries, importing 3rd worlders that will overpopulate those high density countries and some other cultural problems that are not allowed to talk about in this sector of outer rim! But I would say this high rate of divorce is more destructive than global terrorism imo.

Are you/have you ever been married? With some marriages, sometimes divorce is better than staying in an incompatible relationship.Living under the same roof as someone someone you don't get along with is never good and marriage is overrated. Until you've been through an incompatible relationship, you really aren't going to understand. And really, trying to live in in a bubble and expecting others to do the same, is rather unrealistic. And yes, they do have to do with greed and wrath, violence springs from wrath and greed encourages people to make/post anything that will get them money.

M'Kay? This trend (increase from 10% to 50%) is beyond some more individuals finding their marriage godawful. I believe people in the 50s (1st world) or 90s (2nd world) were in general both quite competent and moral/faithful unlike today with the bombardment of sexual revolution, nudity and 2nd & 3rd wave feminism. There is a term 'post-nihilism' that is very deep for this day and age.

Things got really worse since after the 90s. Even stuff was relatively fine till mid 2000s ( coincides with people having access to slow Dial-up internet and no smart-phones). The divorce rate has been dropping since the 90s. Primarily due to younger people (you know, the ones who are all about sex positivity, nudity, feminism) actually staying together. It's the babyboomers who are divorcing left and right.

If more people chose to remain in long-term partnerships, rather than get married, then their breakups may not be getting counted and thus the divorce rate would seem to drop. Whereas the divorce rate for older couples would seem to be higher, because more of them got married.

Whereas the divorce rate for older couples would seem to be higher, because more of them got married. That's a fair point. The second graph shows divorces per 100 married, though, so older people are getting divorced at a greater rate even accounting for any changes in the rate of marriage. EDIT: Found a chart of divorces per marriage in the US:

If anything, the sexual revolution happened because women grew sick of a lot of immortality and abuse they were expected to put up with and keep to themselves. You, sitting there in judgement tells me you are either willfully oblivious to things or you've been fed a lot of bs. The only thing the sexual revolution has done is exposed what was already there.

If you needed a prosthetic arm, would you opt to have a tentacle for an arm like this woman. I think its cool and a guy would certainly be more attractive to me if he had one.

DragonKingReborn Two of my relatives should have divorced when I was a child, she kept talking about leaving him but she cared about him just enough to stay. It was okay for a decade, not so much for another, and now 30 years on it's a trainwreck. He's driven their daughter to illness and anxiety, has been abusive to her, and the situation has driven my aunt to the edge of a breakdown. She should have left for the sake of the kids years ago, instead she thought staying for them was better. It was not. Things just declined spectacularly. Happy parents living the best lives they can, and still being able to enjoy their children's milestones together in a friendly way - that's the end goal imo. Which means divorcing and moving on.

If there's enough resentment in the relationship it can spill over onto the kids. It really depends on the couple though, it's a tough call at times and there are repercussions no matter which way you go.
