Divorced after only 2 years :(

Sounds like she has some MAJOR issues...

It's sad.. And I totally got scared for a second when I saw the title of this post!

This happened to someone I know. Together for a long time before getting married, husband cheated within 6 months with someone in the same apartment complex, divorced within a year.

She knew he did not have a degree when she married him, and she is cheating on him with a co-worker. I think her husband deserves better.

They are both pot smokers so I don't get why she is all of a sudden mad that he isn't motivated. Ummmm, duh! But she does have a degree and a good job. But I totally don't get why she even cares if he has a degree or not....as long as he has a job is what matters. But I guess thats important to her. But then why didn't she realize this BEFORE getting married?

In a way, they'd been together since they were like 17 and they just kind of did the next step now that they were adults....marriage. And she thought he'd change and grow up a little bit. And he didn't. Its just so shocking to me.

Wow, that sucks! I can't believe that she had a fling like that.

That's why people don't recommend young couples to marry. She got married before she found herself. If she knew what she wanted at that time, all of this could have been avoided. People change and what she thought she could deal with, she realized that she couldn't. You can't change a man.

My aunts friend was with her boyfriend for 17 years before they got married, they planned a huge wedding and were getting divorced before the one year anniversary and to this day I don't know the real reasons. But maybe its meant for them to go their separate ways unfortunately...that's very sad though

Ugh ... her husband deserves much much better ... I can't imagine after only 2 years of marriage, doing something so horrid to my husband ... and yes I also got scared when I read the title as well ...

The same thing happened to a cousin of mine, they were highschool sweethearts, through college then had the big country club wedding. She realized (my cousin) that she never got to "date" - cheated on her husband divorced within 2 years. Sad. But now she's remarried to a great guy and they have two kids oh and her step son is dating my sister...weird I know but I guess everything happens for a reason!

My SIL and her husband might also be heading to the Divorce Court. She found explicit texts between him and another girl (he met on yearbook.com and swears he never met IRL) They've been married almost 4 years and have a 22 month old son. I don't know what is with the month of January but it can go and take it's sihtiness (yes that's a word) with it.

Didn't mean to scare ya'll.....ok maybe I did lol :o)

No major changes in her life since being married, I guess she kind of realized she can do better. Which really is true. But still.....why did she realize this now?

Potters: she probably expected things to change with marriage, and when they didn't she "moved on". Sorry for your friend, but it's yet another example of why people should not get married just because it's the next logical step.

I had a friend that did this and she just finalized her divorce... she knew she was marrying an alcoholic and thought he'd stop drinking (as much) after the I Do's. He lost his job and it got MUCH worse.

Wow.. that's so sad.

That's sad, but very common these days. Alot of people don't take marriage as seriously as they should. That just recently happened to my cousin as well.

You are spot on. It is exactly what happened with my ex and I. He went from working in the control room of a nuclear power plant, where it was all males, to a more managerial/office position(same company) that had many females on the job. We were married 13 years and married young. Of course, I was not longer going to be attractive any more.

Sounds like she's mildy crazy and selfish. Boohoo he doesn't want to get a degree so she'll cheat on him - WTF?! o_O

You know what's really sad? The fact that we all probably know someone who has done this, gone through this, or is in the midst of a divorce early in the marriage. That's sad.

Yep same thing happened with my neighbors. Together for seven years, married and divorced within one.
