family issues

[Halororor]

The only advice I can give is not to interfere and try your very best not to take sides anywhere. Usually once your parents start using you as a weapon against each other things start to take a turn for the worse. If they try to get you to choose sides, just tell them that you won't because you love them both equally and feel they should sort out the problems and not jump for divorce as soon as possible. It's not much, but it's my two cents.

Just to be clear, the full context of my quote was,

 

 

the person who is allowing themselves to fantasize about greener grass may make heavy demands on the innocent spouse to justify their own selfish dissatisfaction and desires. The problem with this case is that the real trouble is never your spouse but yourself. Wherever you go, there you are. Such people who end up divorcing, simply go onto the next relationship and repeat the exact same unhappy cycle.

 

If you take that out of context and make the last sentence the entire thought (which it's not) then you have taken the meaning of my words and twisted them into something entirely different.

 

There are different cases, I did not speak of, where love simply is not enough. When people who end up marrying for the wrong reasons realize they have made a real mistake, they are in a different situation than marriages that were strong to begin with, and are only going through the growing pains of a longterm union, and allow themselves to fantasize about greener pastures, instead of rolling up their sleeves and doing the work of repairing the marriage.

 

 

On another note entirely, It's never too late to tell someone the truth.
