Guys, I know that on this website I'm always happy go-lucky. But now, something's wrong. A while ago, my parents started to fight over the simplest of things. My dad would usually just stay quiet and things would die down, but it's not really going that way anymore. in my last talk with my dad, he said "I've talked 'till I'm blue in the face, I've kept my mouth shut 'till I was bored to death, but now I just don't know what to do." That scared me. i don't really want my parents to divorce, but I've started thinking that it's better for them. So... Now what?

your parents are people with their own lives. they have their own fears and concerns and emotional baggage. your description of the situation is vague and hardly comprehensible. what you need to realize is that things will happen in your life that are totally out of your control, i know it's expected for you to worry about the people who raised you and their happiness but what can you do in a situation like this. from your post i'll assume your still living with your parents otherwise their fighting wouldn't be affecting you so much, ergo realize that everyone's parents fight, divorce rates are at all time high and that the best part of human beings is that they change. in the short term even if they do end up splitting because they believe that's best for them then who are you to say "no please don't", isn't that a bit selfish hmm? you ask now what? as if you can possibly have some answer to the lives of people you seem to hardly understand. if you were actually concerned about your parents why not go on a walk with them and talk with them tete-a-tete and learn why they're actually this upset. or maybe you're just a kid and they don't want to burden you with their real-life problems. life isn't complicated, people have simple needs and desires but everyone seems intent on making it so much more than it actually is.

Divorce doesn't have to be the option whenever things are looking down. Your parents have been married for as long as you have been alive, I assume, so they've probably gone through a lot of trouble and fighting already. The important thing is they stayed together. All marriages go through rough patches - face it - have you ever just been inexplicably annoyed at your parents? They probably feel that bout each other sometimes too. It's part of living together. People will be angry at each other. People will dislike each other for periods, it doesn't have to mean divorce.
That said, it's good that you can chat to your parents about these things. It might help them both introspect a bit, because in the end, we all become better humans when we can solve our differences with other humans.
I'm sad for you though. It's always hard for the kid when parents fight. Don't be hard on yourself okay? Stay safe.

Thanks guys, you really did help. ^^
I'm glad when people are honest with me, and I am starting to understand. If you're wondering, I'm not a kid (well, not a really young one anyway.) I am still a bit concerned since things haven't died down and they're actually fighting again right now, but as you said decaye, if they decide that a divorce is best for us all, I will just accept it. Thanks.

same here

my parents keep fighting

n they r threatening to divorce

ima got same prob

for a while now

depending on who the parents are then divorce isn't so bad. My parents have been divorce for 5 years and my mother is constantly telling me my father is a woman abuser. I don't believe it for a moment. She say's he's a master manipulater but her and my older sister are pooling idea's in my head without giving me reasons to believe. When I wanted to live with dad, my mother went as far as to call the cops on me and I sat in a cop car for 20 minutes.
My mother and father had a fucked up life so they made a miserable pairing to begin with.
It was better that they divorced because they were always screaming at each other.
Ignoring my story, I think that if you're parents aren't happy with each other and they can't work things out then staying together may be more damaging for them and for you than splitting apart.
