Is there anything more self centered than divorcing your spouse

Kids adjust easily. They would be sad for a while, but they'd also be sad when they get older and realize their parents were miserable for years and years.

It's statistically proven that growing up without a father leads to a significant increase in the incidence of mental illness, poor social skills and even criminality.

>>26241885
once the kids are gone it's kind of a waste

let them part ways if they hate each other

>>26242027
Getting a divorce doesn't mean they have to grow up without their father. Normally they'd spend their time 50/50 with both parents.

>>26242027
so the solution is to keep kids in a dysfunctional family where both parents hate each other and don't cooperate at all. genius

The point is that the parents were only "miserable" because the wife was a screeching pig who cared more about her petty feelings than her husband or children.

There's a reason divorce only became a thing after we started pretending women were equal.

uh, that's some mighty powerful projection you have going on there. my parents relationship dynamic was literally nothing like that.

Adultery's another up-there reason, honestly.

>50/50
Its more like every other weekend

First of all, that's not usually true.

Second of all, kids aren't stupid, they still see that their parents don't live with each other, and that will affect them.

Then why did they divorce?

>>26242139
Adultery has existed for generations, it just wasn't something worth destroying a marriage over until recently.

>>26242148
they split up, didn't see it as a big deal, she was the primary breadwinner and his commute was so long that he wasn't there much anyways.

i'd rather have my dad live his life then have to be a factory worker/ stay at home dad or whatever so he could check in on me to make sure i'm not jerking off to videogames 4 hours a day like i was.

But didn't he have to give your mommy child support bux?

just waiting to spout the next big misoggy-knees epic counter-culture may may, huh, faggot?
