Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML

Soma is right there are some married couples that never fight but that is because one pushes all their feelings aside but people can only do that for so long. My aunt was married for 10 years without ever arguing an just going by what uncle says but than she just packed up one day and left. Its not a healthy relationship to never have disagreements or arguments from time to time

You're a naive div if you think your parents had never fought or argued about anything previously.

Yep, it's weird how this works. Once I bragged how a bf was very loyal and despite it being long distance, it'd be more likely I'd be the one wandering away. That very evening, we split up. And he confessed that a hot new girl moved in and things might start happening between them.

Ok, weird cuz EXACTLY the same thing happened to my parents. After 22 YEARS of marriage and incredibly rare 'fights,' and by fights I mean like really small arguments, my parents announced their divorce. Everyone was absolutely of shocked, no one more than my sister and I. I wish you luck, it sucks.

My parents only fought when dad drank - or dad only drank when mom fought with him? I chose not to drink once I got married. Worked for a while.. we didn't fight... but then the cork flew off and all the bottled up resentment flew out at warp-speed and broke EVERYTHING!!!

I'd like to thank everyone for NOT saying the OPs parents are getting a divorce because she's argumentative.

YDI for speaking out on a topic you've obviously never experienced. Disagreements are healthy, as everyone says. A true relationship is one that can overcome that. Just because your parents loved you enough not to put you in any drama doesn't mean they never fight, you fool.

Parents not arguing in front of their kids makes their likely divorce (statistically) much harder for the kids to bear. My parents fought in front of me and I hated when they did it, so when they announced their divorce I was very happy.

Me too. Passive aggressive silent treatment is no fun either... especially Christmas morning... I'm not married and I don't have children, but I hope my spouse and I would argue (not fight) in front of our children. Seeing two people resolved disagreements calmly, respectfully, and lovingly would be a great life lesson. So many of my students are like the OP. They lack knowledge of basic interpersonal skills. They would get along much better in college or the working world if they knew how to interact with others.

Miso_Soupu - You make a great point. My parents have always fought in front of me, and it was pretty traumatic. I've always told myself that I would never let my future children see me argue with their father. What I realize now from reading your comment is that it wasn't the fact that they had arguments that hurt me, but that they had such an unhealthy way of going about it. You're absolutely correct that children can learn a lot from watching a dispute being resolved in a civil manner. Thanks for the enlightenment!
