Divorce "runs" in the family?

Re: Divorce “runs” in the family?

@TLK

I dont think that “maa ne sahi tarbiyat nahi ki” miht be the factor. If there is any factor then it might be because divorce otherwise is still considered a big taboo in our society. If someone breaks that barrier, it probably becomes easy, and hence less of a barrier for the next generation of that person.

That’s exactly it for me. Now, I understand there often are good reasons for divorce and it may even show more respect for the well-being of women of the family (if female relatives got divorced). I know of someone who divorced her husband because he tortured her with threats of suicide/serious physical harm to himself to get his way. In her case, her well-being was clearly more important than keeping that relationship going.

But yeah, it would still scare me. One thing that will help my fear is the potential’s recognition of the divorce(s) and serious commitment to making his marriage work, while being aware of potential problems as seen in the relatives’ cases.
