    Thread encompasses two topics, hence the multiple choice response:
    1. Are your parents divorced?
    2. How many people do you know whose parents are divorced?

    Votes public. We ride in the danger zone.

    1. I have no clue. Like, really. My parents legally are divorced, but now they're acting like they used to when they were married. They've done this kind of crap before. They're a terrible couple, and I just want them to make up their minds on what their going to do.
    2. 3

    I have absolutely no intention of doing anything with this information, as per usual. It's just curiosity fueling the inferno.

    As an aside, I'm willing to bet most of the people who voted ~5+ are referring to people they know online. The Dunbar's number is probably significantly higher when you factor in e-relationships/friendships, and as with any subgroup or specific niche you're more likely to find out someone's parents were divorced online as people don't generally divulge this information vis-a-vis.

    My parents are fine and they would never get a divorce o_O They fight of course, but every couple does and if they don't, there's something wrong with them... and on top of that my name isn't Clarence.

    Nah, I moved out ages ago. But my parents do have a good marriage, so that's true. Not sure why you're calling me clarence though...

    My parents have a good marriage, though I've seen my share of loud arguments. The way I see it, every couple fights sometimes, it's all in what you do afterwards.

    And this isn't Clarence. No, this is Patrick.
