Hi Internet!
Is it really such a big part of my nations culture that parents divorce that it's concidered the "norm"?
Today my five year old son asked in a cheerful everyday voice "mom, when are you going to divoce my dad?" - not that he doesn't like his father, but because of the fact that many - if not most - of his friends come from broken homes. Does he feel left out to be the only child not to have special "daddy weekends" ? or is it that he feels so burdened by the fact that he only has one bedroom? one closet or one home? What does promt the need for this question I want to know? I don't think there's anything in our homelife that suggests us getting a divorce, I mean, sure we do have our rows, we do have loud discussions about politics and things we don't quite agree on, but nothing that isn't normal - the thing is we're just in general loud and opinionated people who love to discuss things - sometimes a bit loud, but it's hardly ever personal...
Well I must go... thoughts on the matter are greatly appreciated :D

I think it sadly really is such a huge part of all western culture...divorce is so prevalent that it is the norm now it would seem.
(Just a thought, do you think he might have asked you because he wanted reassurance that you wouldn't get a divorce?)
Once I was talking to someone and I said how my husband and I would do something in two years time and this person just looked at me and said "Two years?! Who knows if you'll still even be married by then!"
I think it's sad and it says a lot about our western world.
Maybe that's what he was thinking, but I doubt it... I do agree with you, a lot of people don't look at a marriage as a permanent thing anymore and I thing anymore and that is a part of the problem... I mean, sure nobody should stay in a bad relationship but problems should be solved not run from KWIM? - things seem to take divorce as a first solution rather then last resort as it should be.
Through our years as a couple we have had many couple friends, most of them have broken up in only a short time... it goes to show that we are an oddity in todays world, a married couple intent on living our lives togeather :) it's good to know about another couple of our kind in Norway ;) LOL
You bet there is!!:) Have a fantastic day my friend!:)
