My parents were never married, and their relationship had been troubled since before I was even born.
They finally split up some years ago.
My dad's a dick, so good riddance.
I hear his new family is doing well too.
Drowning in debt.
Heh.

yep. They both have anger problems and tend to go into rages. one is a religious fanatic and one is a drunk whore, and they both act like children. yeah I don't like my parents. however my mum is with a millionaire atm who pays my college fees...
also, broken poll and self selection bias. no-one in my dorm has divorced parents...

Divorced and married before I was conceived, still married now, so I'd count that as not divorced.

And this. Self-selection bias is when people can see your topic and those who have more interest in it (IE. usually the people who have divorced parents, also as the data here is seeming to suggest so far) will be more likely to participate. Thus, before you even have the data, there's already a bias in there that could (and likely does) significantly impact the results.

You should definitely disregard your results here. At the collegiate level, such a mistake is not going to net you a decent grade.

Yup, they divorced when I was about five so... about nine years, now.

Like someone else said, best decision they've made, as a couple.

Well my mum walked in the door yesterday afternoon after work and said "I'm going next week to the city and filing for a divorce", so they will be soon.

Yep, my parents are divorced as well.

My father took it really hard and well, he hasn't completely recovered from all of that even if it's already been over 15 years...
