  • What happened? What makes you think this is the case? I'm sorry if they do end up splitting. Divorce is so sad.
  • Just comments my mom keeps making. Things I've heard. And I know they've been having problems in their relationship for a while.. I just figured it was a phase and would pass. I just wish they'd tell me what's going on so I can stop assuming the worst if that's not the case..

    Why dont you ask them? Will they tell you the truth?
  • My mom is a traveling nurse and moved two hours away today. Won't be back for a couple weeks. And won't be back permanently until late October. So idk. I think I'll see if the time apart helps them. Or if they come to me and just tell me.
  • Truly not trying to be a jerk...but is it really the worst idea if they would both be happier? I know it's not ideal, but maybe needed for their situation?
    I only ask bc my parents are still married and I'm not sure they should be. I think it would possibly be LESS stress if the were apart?!
    Good luck to both them and you and I hope it works out for the best!

    You make a good point. They didn't get married out of love. My mom was told she could never get pregnant so she never used protection but she got pregnant with me the first time they had sex. So they got married when my mom was  8 months pregnant with me.. But over the years they fell in love and were a great couple. They've had issues, had to go to counseling but they always made it work.

     

    The only reason I think it would be awful if they got divorced is because of my child.. My mom is EXTREMELY petty and immature and tends to try to turn people against people she doesn't like. Including my nephew.. And I just worry that if they did she would make it very difficult for me to allow her to see the baby because I wouldn't allow her to make nasty comments about my dad (who in my very biased eyes is basically the greatest man I've ever known). She's very angry that I plan on using my dads middle name for one of my children but not her name and makes this known constantly.. Even though they're still married everything is a competition and I foresee it being 10 times worse if they do separate.. Idk. Maybe if I wasn't pregnant I would be thinking more rationally about this but my hormones are already insane and add this to the mix, I'm a wreck.. I just don't know what to say or do. I don't want to walk on egg shells around them until they figure this out but I just wish they'd either get help or tell me they're separating.

     

    Thanks for letting me vent. I don't want anyone in my "real" life  to know about this until it is said to be true. Except my husband of course. His parents separated when he was 12 and eventually got back together so he's very sympathetic and comforting to me.
