Just what exactly do you consider *unreasonable* reasons for not staying together?
we have many stories of how a parent tolerated abuse by the spouse in order to save the marriage for the child's sake
You mean like Nancy Benoit and Phil Harman?
I have no idea who they are
Seriously? Do you not ever read or watch the news? Look it up and then tell me if it would have been reasonable for these two individuals to leave their spouses.

so what is the point?
Was it reasonable for Nancy Benoit to stay with Chris for "the sake of the child?"
Was it reasonable for Phil Hartman to stay with Brynn for "the sake of the children"?
Was it reason for Rusty Yates to stay with Andrea for "the sake of the children"?
YES, I do. The *conclusion* would be that there are times when married couples should divorce and to not do so is irresponsible and child endangerment.
Said the guy who was more than willing to use the anecdotal when his experience matched his expectation.
Or is this a sign of progress... :think:
Do you agree with this, Chrys? To not agree is not reasonable.
I have already agreed to that
but
pointed out that when this happens there is at least one unreasonable person involved
most of the time both are being unreasonable
I think that using a word such as *unreasonable* to describe the individuals who chose to murder shows a complete disregard to the lives of their victims.
Define how a reasonable spouse should react when there is adultery, violence, chemical dependency, etc. in the marriage?
there are many examples of couples staying to together in spite of that
and
it is not for me to judge when it is not reasonable

. . . definition time again . . .
unreasonable (un·rea·son·a·ble)
-adjective
1. when someone posts something that doesn't match chrysostom's experience and expectation.
:kookoo:
. . . the irony is . . . you do it all the time.
:kookoo:
And there are many examples of women, men and children ending up dead because they do not leave.
Oh, but it IS for you judge that these individuals who would murder one another and their children are more deserving marrying than a gay couple?
Do you even read what you type?
how do you tell when you are living with someone who might kill you?
