Today, I divorced my husband of 20 years. The only positive thing about my day was my pregnancy test. Yes, it was his. FML

Okay, I'm confused. I might get thumbed down for this. She said "was" does that mean she aborted it?

Try reading the story again SLOWER it says the only thing positive about her day was the pregnancy TEST lol nothing to do with a past tense pregnancy

Actually, she's referring to the last line line- yes, it was his. Should be IS his......... reasonable question.....

Is there a more politically correct way to refer to a clump of cells that you don't yet know the sex of?

82 - Yes, you call it "the baby" or "the child" or "the kid"... Shall I continue?

Divorce usually rekindles the sex life. Everything happens for a reason.

I wonder why it ended. I know if I ever get married it will be once and I will stay married.

If you aren't married, and I'm not so maybe I shouldn't comment on this post either but, divorce is something one can comment on. Don't knock her for making a choice.

Most people don't get married thinking they will one day get divorced. you can try to plan your life but life doesn't always go according to plan.

Yes, because I'm sure the majority of couples get married planning to get divorced. You sound as if you are still in the incredibly naive stage of life where a five year relationship is something MASSIVE and you have no idea what growing old with someone actually means. Please get off your high horse.

A majority of couples now also rush into a marriage without taking the time to actually fully understand each other and/or properly consider the consequences of making such a commitment. That, and the great contributions of society in eroding away the significance and original permanence of marriage, is why there are so many divorces around now. Also, kids raised by divorced parents or witnessing the event themselves also suffer major negative impacts on their views of marriage. If people actually started treating marriage as a permanent and lifelong commitment again, instead of one that can be nullified with some paperwork, I believe the desire for divorce would be greatly diminished with the falling rate of rash marriages.

nullified**, no idea why that gap appeared.

It's kinda terrible to judge her mothering abilities on that, isn't it? "It" is just used to refer to an object OR being of indeterminate or nonexistent gender. She does not know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so she uses the gender-neutral "it." Doesn't mean she's thinking of the embryo as an object.
