Well, I thought about it and compared my parents to my friends and couldn't get a good view on it.

So I'm asking all of you. How is your parent's relationship with each other.

My parents fight here and there, and get into arguments each day. But they seem to still talk to each other and spend time together. I Know my one friend has parents who are divorced and have a total hatred for one another. My other friend has parents who won't talk to each other at all and act like the other isn't there most of the time. They come together here and there and do things, but they are not that happy with one another.

My parents clearly don't love each other anymore. They sleep in separate rooms and they barely talk to each other.

They're the traditional Chinese parents. That pretty much sums up their relationship.

Been like this for years. Always fight/swear and my mom has hitting issue. Gonna admit it's mostly my mom's problem though.

Normal. Thanks god i don't have those issues that seems others have.

They never married so I can't say divorced lol.

They seperated a few months before I was born, but did keep contact with eachother untill about a year ago when they deceided it was best for them to break contact.

I grew up with both parents in a way though, I always switched home every week.

A bit chaotic aswell though, I never really had one real home.

parents divorced on good terms.

Parents still together, hate each others guts. Mom won't get a divorce because she needs the money for her medical issues and my 91 immortal gramma she refuses to put in a home. My aunt is too busy helping her old rich uncle 'cause her husband wants some of his money when he dies to help my mom. Dad has anger issues and will do nothing to help my mom. Sister and I grew up listening to them argue, tell each other to go die, point out who ruined who's life, blame one of us for ruining Christmas, etc. Mom is suicidal now and refuses to go to a therapist or help herself. Both have said they wished they were dead though. Yep, yep.

my parents divorced because my mom didn't like the way my dad was raising us, and i think he hit her once...anyway she was a smart enough woman to know once is enough, she got everything the kids (us) and the house which made sense because she was making more money than him. I think she still loved him but she had to do what she felt was right and she'll always have my respect and love for that.

Very good relationship

Mmmm, going real bad. They seperated once before, mostly because of my mums attitude for everything around her, she used to have the biggest moodswings and stuff. The first time they seperated she shouted at us 'happy now??!". Its all bullshit. He only came back cuz she was struggling with 4 kids. Now, she seems to have forgotten that and is threatening to find her own place to stay. Slightly hypocritical if you ask me. i hate my parents.

I wasn't expecting all these problems in this thread

Wow this thread is depressing.

My parents relationship is rather good, my father runs his own company and my mom just quited her own business last year and after a break, she decided it's a tad bit too boring and now she's helping my dad at work. Currently they still share a room, and live with 2 of my younger sisters. They rarely argue (something like once every 1-2 years?), and they are coming to visit me this weekend.

+1.

pretty sure the only reason mine are still together is for my siblings.

No problems, a few arguments a year but its okay.

mine are divorced, have been for like 7 years or so, they dont really like each other, i really dont remember anything before the divorce tho. now they are arguing over money and such, and how much they should each pay towards my college expenses, and i am on my dads side on most of it, but i live with my mom, so i get an ear full from her whenever we talk about it, and yeah this thread makes me sads

My parents love each other. This thread is depressing; I think I'm gonna frag some people to cheer me up. QQ

Divorced. Don't understand how they could ever have made a good couple. My mom's straight out weird at best. I often think she used to be the socially awkward kid at school.
Anyways, my dad was never home. He was always working in America/Germany or another city in Holland, my life didn't change too much for me when it was definitive. Of course it was sour that it all ended because my father was having a 26 y/o on the side, but what can you do?
My mother never recovered, became depressed and now an alcoholic. I hauled her sorry ass to rehab but now 6 months later there's still little to no progress. My mother feels too much self pity. If there's any shit quality you definitely want to avoid like the plague it's self pity.
Love was never really in my family, even still I just give my twin sister a handshake on our birthday.

I've at least learned an important lesson: don't start with children unless you're 100% sure you can provide a safe environment for them for the next 18 years.

Oh and their relationship.. it's fubar.

good, they hav been married for like 20 some years and I barely ever hear them argue. I could never imagine them getting divorced.

srf's topics are getting more and more awkward and personal by the day

Where's the Divorced but still live together well option?

im surprised to see that good outweighs divorced...most of my friends come from parents who've separated...

they have been together for 23 years now . arguing & fighting every single day . thing is they do every thing together the go to work together ,they work in the same office,come home together , eat together , go out together , sleep in the same bed ...etc for 20+ years they have been doing that . . .

My parents are pretty fair, up and down on some moments, but overall fair.

My parents were casual sex buddies.

Were together for 15 years then their alcoholism (combined) ruined them. My dad had back surgery to fuse several discs together because of debilitating pain caused by degenerative discs plus several slipped discs, the next few years went downhill fast. He got heavier on the alcohol and pain meds and over the course of a year went from being the most awesome, athletic, loving person to the most detached, overweight, nobody. He no longer provided for us and his alcoholism got out of control.

They divorced the month I graduated high school. Basically kicking my dad out on the street.. (We tried rehab 3 times before they split.) I've been in college for 2 years now and nothing has really changed. He goes for a month or two sober then falls off the boat.. It's the same old cycle over and over.. I don't have hard feelings towards either of them though.. it's both their faults. She is an alcoholic and continued to drink even as he fell apart... I just wish he'd get it together, at least she still supports he family, very well actually.

Anywho, I'm on my own now so I just worry about me and hope he gets better. The only thing that bothers me is he's not around to be that awesome person to raise my little brother.. I really hate that my brother doesn't get that opportunity..

Probably typed too much for a srf fan site, but oh well.
