Watching BFF go through this for 30 years has made me want to avoid divorce at all costs. Her parents divorced in 1977, remarried in 1980, and divorced again in 1984 because of OW.
WH's parents also went through a nasty divorce. How he fell into the same WAS trap as his father - the one thing he SWORE he would NEVER do - is beyond me.
I think that's what made me SO determined to fight for my marriage, watching these two for so long. I do NOT want my kids to go through that and will avoid it if at all possible. Time will tell if I succeed...
