Wow, found out this weekend .....
BIL (B's brother) and his wife are going to get a divorce.
Mutual agreement B said, and that they've had some problems going on for about a year now. BIL has been staying with ILs, which we knew a while back that he was staying there cause him and J got into it, but he went back home and now he's back again at the ILs.
B talked to BIL Saturday, BIL mentioned a few things and B thought nothing of it cause they have fights every now and then. Well when B went to ILs house Sunday, MIL told B the whole story.
I kinda was in shock when B told me this when he got back home Sunday. Freaked me out. I would not expect a divorce to happen with BIL and his wife. They've been together since they were like 18. They are now both 30 and have 3 kids together. The oldest is 11. The divorce should be fairly easy. BIL has agreed to give J 30% of his paycheck and they've already worked on when BIL will get the kids.
Made me freak a little that if it could happen to them, it could happen to anyone. Makes me want to work a lot harder on me and B's marriage (though we aren't having problems, just makes you think what could happen and to never leave issues unsolved.)
My aunt has been through 3 divorces but we never expected those marriages to last, and then BIL is getting a divorce. I've never been this close to a divorce. I guess that's why it's freaking me out ....

Yea it seems they will be pretty civil about it. Part of me is still hoping they can make things work out still .... I hate to see people getting divorces, but I also understand that you can only handle/do so much.
Yup, it CAN happen to anyone if they let things go far enough. It's good to learn that through the mistakes of others and hopefully avoid it yourself. Divorce is expensive, tiring, and disheartening. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Meanwhile, 'member that cousin who freaked out on FB when she wasn't invited to my wedding and she'd never have excluded family from hers? Yeah, she messaged me yesterday... they're separating & probably divorcing. And today the owner of a restaurant E & I frequent called me because he's separated & likely divorcing.
It's everywhere.

Sad.
It's really sad. My best friend is going through a divorce and has 4 kids. They separated for about a year and tried and tried to make it work but even if things were better for a while they are always going to end up back in a bad place. She finally filed the papers this month and it's getting really nasty. She screwed herself by trying to be the good guy and let her H have the boys during the week (she moved maybe 20 minutes to be closer to work but it's a different county) as to not mess up their school schedule and she had them weekends and school holidays so they spilt time 50/50 based on a calendar year. The county the boys are in considered the primary care giver the person who has the kids during the school week so in their eyes she gave up her kids. She has to prove that he is an unfit parent to get primary custody and he's a good dad but a shitty husband. It's so sad.
