    So here's a question that's never been asked before (well, I'm sure it has but I don't remember seeing it in my time haha)

    Are your parents together, or are they separated/divorced etc? If they're still together, does it scare you if/when they fight? If they're not, does it affect your life negatively (or even positively) in any way?

    Feel free to go into as much detail as you are comfortable with!
     
    Lol I ****ing wish.

    Long story short they hate each other, for reasons I'm not even going to begin going into.
     
    My parents have been divorced since I was in third grade and I haven't seen my dad since I was in fifth. I think he lives in Arkansas somewhere or something.
     
    I'm surprised they're still together, really. They fight constantly and they get real bitter but they always seem to make each other happy in the end, which I suppose is all that matters. My mother has gotten in the car and driven away for hours at a time after they've had a particularly bad fight, though. But she's never asked for a divorce (well, nothing od the sort has appeared on my radar) so I can only assume that whatever they have is working.
     
    My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last week, and they don't seem to be showing any sign of splitting up. What's weird is that I've never seen them properly fight. My friends will tell of stories of their parents occasionally going at it but then resolving their differences and being stronger for it... but I've honestly never heard my parents even raise their voice at one another. It got to the point when I was younger that whenever there was a slight disagreement between the two, I'd shout out "DON'T GET DIVORCED!" as a joke. Unless they're very, very good at keeping their secret tension hidden from me and my brother, my parents seem very stable and happy together. Which is good, I guess.
     
    No they are not together, they are divorced. They separated when I was 11 and my brother was 1 but I didn't really cared about it as I beleived that if my mother was not happy with him there wasn't a reason to be with him at all. The fact that he is my father won't change if the do not live together! They fought sometimes and I didn't like it but I knew that there wasn't something I could do, It was something between them and only them. My mom was scared when she told me he lft but she found out I was happier that way, so she didn't mentioned it. They don't really match, it was the best for all of us :)

    I t doesn't affect my personal life, I don't miss him. I think it's harder for my borther because he really wants to be spend time with him but it's not always possible
     
    Yeah my parents are still together after all these years. Only once or twice has there ever been a really serious argument between them where the possibility of divorce crossed my mind. If I remember right, my dad actually said that he might divorce my mum to her face one time in the heat of one of those arguments, but it never happened.
     
    Nah, they divorced when I was about 6 or 7. I barely remember it, oddly enough considering I remember a lot of things. Though I do remember the pinnacle point where it really hit me "wow, mom and dad aren't together anymore" and that's still one of the worst nights of my life. I remember that clear as day. My mom's been married twice since then, and my dad never remarried. He says it's not his thing, but he currently has a place with his girlfriend. And mom is in her fourth marriage.

    This didn't impact me in a normal way like most kids would have dealt with though. Him moving out, only getting to see him maybe every other weekend, etc never bugged me that much. Apparently it impacted me psychologically and took a backseat in my mind which influences my romantic relationships. So maybe that's why I have all these love life problems all the time. Hmm.
     
    My parents got divorced when I was 6 because my mother cheated on my dad.

    She ended up getting pregnant.

    She also, in addition, screwed him out of his house, his money, his daughter (me!), and many years of his time. She completely ruined his life, lol.

    My dad got remarried to some evil witch that left him to become a lesbian drug addict. She said she wasn't "happy."

    My mom recently got married to some old man all of the sudden. She's only known him for 6 months. She recently got fired from her job, and I'm assuming she's going to screw him over like she did to my dad.
     
    I'm pretty sure I answered a question like this a few months back...

    My parents aren't together, they weren't married so no need for a divorce. I think he left when I was about four or five. I haven't seen my dad since I was five though because my mum didn't think I was safe around him. I won't go into it because I'm pretty sure I've said this multiple times on here already.
    I don't think it's impacted me in a negative way, at least not one that's permanent. I can't really say if my life could've been better with a dad because I don't have anything to compare my life right now to.
     
    No they aren't, they divorced when I was 4 years old, around the time my little sister was born. I think it's better this way, I don't really remember how I felt about it back then, probably because it didn't really occur to me because I kept seeing my father daily, which wasn't really..what my mom wanted but she was too scared to say anything. The only thing I remember is the pain and impact their fighting caused and how to this day I still notice the strain it has put on our family.
     
    Mine have been together for over 30 years, but there were times I wished they would get divorced as a kid because they were never happy, always fighting, always negative, and they took it out on my brother and I a lot. However, my parents worked on certain things and they're doing SO much better :) While it sucks they had to go and make my childhood relatively gloomy, i'm glad it worked out in the long run.
     
    My father died. So that's how that ended.

    My mom and stepdad have been together over ten years now and don't show any signs of breaking up, afaik. I haven't seen them have any major fights, although I'm sure they've had them at some point.
     
    My parents are still together, though I don't know why they are together to begin with. I can't really see them getting divorced, it would just be more convenient to stay together and I don't see my dad filling out all the paperwork.
     
    My parents are still together; they've had more minor disagreements in the past but I've never seen them have a bigger fight or anything of the sort. I'm one of the few in my circle of friends whose parents are still together though, with most of my friends having parents that divorced because one person cheated/was no longer interested/had anger management that was difficult to control/etc.
     
    My parents are still together. They've been together for 18 years. They argue a lot but they're not going to get divorced at this point.
     
    My parental units are still joined, to my knowledge, they do not have any malfunctions in their bond
     
    My mom and dad are still together. I don't recall if any of them had any fights, but I'm sure they've had a few at one point.
