jrjo raises an interesting premise, even for this heathen.
Anybody know how much the stay together percentage goes up for a couple whose parents have never divorced? My parents have been married for nearly 40 years, my in-laws for nearly 33. NO ONE in my family is divorced, so to me divorce is a repugnant, horrible idea - I would feel like a complete failure had I gotten divorced. (What other people do, fine, that's their business, but for me it wasn't an option.) But I bet for a person whose parents were divorced, not so much so.

BINGO!!!! Exactly what I was saying. They can't always handle our positive changes for a variety of reasons, so they resent us for it, which makes us feel uncomfortable and really puts a negative spin on what, under more supportive circumstances, could be a really good thing. Sad indeed.
This is a great discussion!!

Both of our parents are divorced. FIL remarried, but he died 6 years ago, MIL remarried. My dad never remarried, Mom remarried, SFIL passed away 18 months ago. Holidays are quite a challenge.

I too, lost some weight and when the compliments started rolling in is when we started to have problems. Keith has a friend who told him the only reason a wife works out is to find a boyfriend.
The only reason I made the change was because I was not happy with me . It had nothing to do with looking good for anyone. Its been about 3 years now and I haven't run off yet, so he's a little easier on me lately.

I personally couldn't care what others think about how I look. I decided at age 30 and weighing 190 lbs that I didn't like where I was headed. I made a decision to change and stuck by it. She's convinced I did it to attract someone else but nothing could be further from the truth.

Ok..., maybe I am a heathen or something, but last time I checked marriage and bumping uglies were not mutually exclusive.
