Today, my fiancé and I appeared in the paper for obtaining our marriage license. In the same column half way down his parents appeared for filing their marriage dissolution petition. FML

I did not know that divorce notices were put in the paper.

To be fair, putting things that would not be "first world problems" would kind of take away from the mainly humourous (albeit darkly humourous) feel of this site. There are posts that are downright tragic, but it's not meant to be really, really, horrifically huge problems like life-threatening illness or mass deaths.

At first, I thought his parents filed a counter-petition to undo the OP's marriage. When I had some coffee and realized his parents coincidentally were getting divorced, I started crying. . . from boredom.

I had no idea that they put divorces in the paper, same as marriages (I'm from Denmark). That's pretty sad. I can understand celebratory announcements, but divorces (mostly) aren't causes for celebration. It's like people are enjoying the pain of others.

"Marriage dissolution petition"? Why the hell did you not just say "divorce"?

"Waaaahhhh, the person who wrote the FML didn't use the word acceptable for my neanderthal like brain." That's what I interpreted from your comment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like the parents were petitioning to nullify their daughter's marriage, whereas "divorce" as you mentioned seems to refer more to the parents getting divorced. Just food for thought.

Yeah, for a moment I was wondering why OP's in-laws were petitioning to end OP's new marriage, but now I'm wondering why it's called a petition when OP's in laws are ending their OWN marriage...

I don't see what it has to do with you.

The parents didn't want their kid to marry the guy so they were petitioning to make it like it never happened. How does that not involve OP?

No one expects to get divorced. My god people don't use their heads. if you think after years of being together shit doesn't change then you're the dullest piece of human flesh to walk this earth. 60% on marriages fail after children are born. You obviously have no idea what relationships are like or what it's like to parent. I am not divorced. But I just read the tabloids about Kim Ks divorce to get facts. (that last part. Total joke)

First thing, congratulations on your wedding. Second thing, yes it's really sad that your future in laws are getting divorced but you aren't them.
