Haha, that shit happened with my family too.

My mom had been the bread winner and my dad was unemployed for... at least three years before they divorced.

This happened when I was about 21. I was expecting it for a long time.

It was close for my family. Dad would get drunk very often, mum is an amazing person but she was getting very tired of all this. Fortunately after making an ultimatum that if dad doesn't stop drinking she will divorce him, he eventually stopped completely. I'm an adult now and my brother will be leaving them soon (university) and I'm worried if they will stay together without their children with them :(

My dad was the breadwinner.

My mom didn't think things through an became a teacher for some stupid reason (and when she brought up her reasoning ten years later I immediately pointed out that her reasoning was retarded) instead of becoming a realtor like she wanted. The stress from being a teacher built up and killed her marriage.

Basically she didn't think things through.

My parents were very "old fashion" and didn't want to get a divorce.

.......until all their kids grew up and moved out, and their parents died

Turns out they just didn't want to "upset" their parents by getting a divorce so they waited until they all died before doing it. Yeah my parents are fairly autistic in that sense, literally staying together for a few extra decades because they didn't want to upset their parents LOL.

That happens with a lot of people, though. Not necessarily divorcing, but a lot of people dictate their lives based on what will earn them their parents' approval and "love." My own father was that way. When his marriage was failing, I overheard him call his father and totally whitewash his own childhood experience in an attempt to connect with his drug-addict, neglecting father.
