The Masked Tulip Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I see that Sky News is doing its bit for the fesitive feeling by doing several items on divorce rates soaring after Christmas. I suppose, rather than waiting till after Christmas, they are trying to give some pointers on how to avoid rows over Christmas and so perhaps avoid divorce. Bah! Humbug!

Frank Hovis Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 For some people Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a massive family row. I had thought that this was just on Eastenders but then somebody told me that nearly every Christmas one or other of her parenst had ended up walking out.

Bossybabe Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I feel sad for the families that can't resist a row over Christmas. My extended family are cooped up in my sister's mansion (I'm not revealing the value!) from Christmas Eve till the end of Boxing Day and although we occasionally bicker, we never fall out. It's a golden opportunity to catch up on news and have a good laugh together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

council dweller Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well, things were not going well for the wife and I a few weeks ago, I had completely given up talking to her. Given this and the fact that she`d told me that she was leaving me in march I thought I had nothing left to lose Anyway, not being `validated` appears to have put her into a state of panic ! Ah well, I`ve still got my cat (she`s so cute!) and `dreams` of getting a new motorbike ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I avoid divorce by not getting married. That is why divorce is not the right word......breakdown or breakup of relationships, any relationship..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

council dweller Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes well as I said she did say she was leaving me... Although I`m living a completely stress free life I need to avoid an EastEnders type situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Tulip Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yes well as I said she did say she was leaving me... Although I`m living a completely stress free life I need to avoid an EastEnders type situation. Definitely. Best of luck in achieving your goal. You won't be, sadly, the only one with such an ambition this Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
council dweller Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yep.... These are indeed dangerous times. All I can advise it to be in a state of constant awareness and maybe It would be well to advise our other halves to do the same on this very night.

Ah well, I`ve still got my cat (she`s so cute!) and `dreams` of getting a new motorbike ! I'd be careful showing too much affection to the cat before the wife moves out for good. Christmas usually involved a blazing row between my parents when I was growing up. Too much interaction between spouses is usually a bad thing. One of the happiest couples I knew always went on separate holidays. Their rationale was they spent so much time together so why on earth would they want to go on holiday with each other.

council dweller Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well, many years ago in Zimbabwe did come at me with a swiss army knife but poison I don`t think she`s tried. Maybe I should have a go at "gaslighting" her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
