RoxStar Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 One of my best friends just emailed me and told me that her parents are breaking up. They have been married 35 years, they are in their 60's and they decided to break up. She isnt really ready to talk about it yet so I dont know why they are breaking up. On the surface they seemed to have a pretty strong marriage. Why do people split up at this point in their lives? Granted they arent OLD OLD... I am sure they both have many more years ahead of them. Any thoughts, feedback or experiences would be great! I know its not happening to me but I am feeling oddly affected by this. I am a child of divorce and my parents split up when I was 7 and divorced by the time I was 10. I cant imagine what this might feel like at 32 years old. Link to post Share on other sites
brashgal Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 My inlaws divorced after 30 years of marriage - their kids felt they should have done so years before that. Maybe they just can't see living with each other another 20 years or more. Maybe there are other people involved - OM/OW? It does seem sad that after 35 years they can't work things out.
