My father was a wife beating whore.
by Symbeline on May 18th, 2008
I was way too young when they separated but from what my dad told me my mom was just too crazy to live with, although I don't feel like getting into it. She used to throw mugs at him though, I remember that. XD

my mother was unhappy so now everyone else is unhappy.
by sassafrass on December 25th, 2007
Because they are both immature people with problems who brought out the worst in each other.
by melani on November 17th, 2007

my mum cheated on my dad
by IntotheForge on January 21st, 2009
The old man shot 7 children in VietNam and watched some revolutionaries skin one of them alive. He needed 6 years of therapy before he could even look at a kid without destabilizing. To say I've generously forgiven him for making sure he doesn't go completely barmy around me and bro is an understatement. Sometimes it's for the best...
by Diana on January 21st, 2009
Because I was born my mother reminds me alot of how when she got prego with me my father gave her a choice him or me and thank jeebus she choice me:) I think it was more that they didnt know each well and they deff werent in love:(
by Ricardo Demarko on January 21st, 2009
My dad was a controlling a$$ and used to abuse my mom both physically and mentally. My dad had went through two more wives after my mom, and my mom never remarried again.
by bluegirl1417 on July 4th, 2008

by ard munch on July 4th, 2008
my father cheated on my mom and humped anything that walked. my mom met someone new who spent more time with four-year-old me in two weeks than asshole-real dad did in two years... and yeah.
by Hello on July 4th, 2008
my mom has ocd and is a prude, and my dad cant keep his dick in his pants
by Firebrand on March 10th, 2008
Because they were not at all suited and fought all the time.
Once they were divorced they became good friends.
by Jane on March 10th, 2008
because of a His, Hers and Ours marriage is really hard
Kids from a previous marriage and me from their own. Both or them raised their kids differently with different rules. The kids were all about the same age and living in the same house. It caused a split in the family and fighting. Then Dad's kids didn't like Mom and Dad picked kids side. Dad is remarried and kids still dont like new wife
by Imnottellingyou on February 9th, 2008
Because my mom was an alcoholic, drug addict who left me and my sister alone even when we were just babies
by sassafrass on September 28th, 2007
Because they brought out the worst in each other... which was unfortunate for everyone else... me, my sister, the furniture, you know.

They were too selfish and lazy to put in the effort to work things out.
by JPChabert on September 15th, 2007
For a lot of reasons actually.
The main one is because my father was having an affair with another woman that he had met at a convention.
But there are other reasons like my father's drinking heavily after coming back from work, his mother picking on my mother all the time, and my mother's wanting to go back to her country and being sick of living in Brazil.
But it ended up nicely. My father has had the courage to pay a good monthly allowance, and all that. And I get free vacations in Brazil.

don't know, honestly...guess they just couldn't stand each other anymore. but I got two rooms now.
by MrBLT needs to be contained on September 8th, 2007
My father was having an affair.
by bobbo489 on September 8th, 2007
Because my dad was always out out the bar and he cheated on my mom.
by I love my baby on September 8th, 2007
My guess is, they knew one of them would end up being killed by the other.
by pericynthion on September 8th, 2007
Because my father went nuts and threatened my mother with a knife, it was a lond and bitter fight but everything is ok now
by tissie on March 19th, 2009
My mother said it was lack of communication, hey didnt migt much but they didnt relve any issues either through the lack of communication. My fether is an ex Vietnam veteran. He didnt have much of a sex drive and didnt how much emotion even to us kids.
by Anthony on February 19th, 2009
Because my dad wasn't the most faithful man in the world.
by shrinkess on January 21st, 2009
They didn't - and should have/ Living in a hateful environment can be harder than living in a broken home.
by Someone on January 21st, 2009
Because....my parents were too stubborn to try to work out their differences. I think a lot of it came down to financial issues and my mom wanted more attention. Now, without even being fully divorced yet, all I hear from my mom is about the guys she likes and can't have. It bothers the crap out of me.
by Anonymous on January 21st, 2009
I'm not sure. I've heard rumors but I really don't want to put that out there. What really matters to me though was that my father left the state and never contacted his children, assisted their mother or chose to be part of our lives. That was a huge mistake. He died young about 20 years ago and I've accepted that and hold no malice for him. We all screw up. Some of us are just a little better at doing that.
by PT girl 08 on January 21st, 2009
My dad stopped trying and started drinking after my mom selfishly refused to take medication for her depression after her miscarriage.
by Sosueme on January 21st, 2009
Mom was a loon
by mellow_girl on January 21st, 2009
because my dad was a major ass/jerk and my mom wouldn't stand up to him. it's both of their faults, but mostly his! it was a great relief when they divorced.
by Jay on January 2nd, 2009
Because my dad told my mum he'd rather have a dog than a ring on his finger, he got what he wanted :)
by starrrgazer on September 13th, 2008
My father was manipulative and abusive. My mother was right to leave.
by Chelsea429 on September 13th, 2008
I don't know why my dad married my mother in the first place. She drives me crazy, I can't see what he saw in her. She is the most negative person i know.
by stephduvall07 on July 4th, 2008
THEY MARRIED WHEN THEY WERE 16 HAD ME AT 17 THEN GREW UP AND APART. THEY HAVE BOTH TOLD ME THAT THEY STILL LOVE EACH OTHER THEY ARE JUST NOT IN LOVE.
by strawberry_shake on July 4th, 2008
because my dad wanted to marry again with other woman.
by BigDaddyBS on July 4th, 2008
They aren't... 57 years and counting.
I am the one divorced in OUR family... 15 years together and 13 married. Luckily, I have found another, and we've been married 3-1/2 years. ;-)
by Dmitri on July 4th, 2008
They didn't, though my mom's parents did, and my grandma is a pain, for she nixed her marriage and tried to nix that of my parents!
by Grandma Roses - my avatar is my real dog on May 18th, 2008
Sorry, my parents (and their 6 children) celebrated their 60th anniversary last September. No divorce.
