Absolutely. I had to stop taking other people's problems into my relationship with DH. Not a great thing to do. It is much better now.

My divorce...definitely affected my friends. They all say it is scary how much things changed for them and really made them evaluate things.
It made them realize how impermanent things can be...

Re: Do other pples relationships affect ur own?
Being a child of divorce, it is one of my biggest fears . They told us in precana that statistically half of us wouldn't make it to 10 years. I looked around the room and it was really scary, everyone seemed so happy at that moment. What changes and how do you stop it from changing? BIL has only been married for less than 3 years and he's so unhappy he was over at our house this weekend talking about getting his own apartment. It's really sad  .

Re: Do other pples relationships affect ur own?
YES! My good friend is going through a separation/divorce since just after me and my DH came back from HM, and it affected me greatly. DH got a little pi**ed at me after I said "you would never do that to me, would you?" for the 10th time. I am still there for her, but I had to distance myself a bit.

Re: Do other pples relationships affect ur own?
Not really. I'm well aware of the statistics and I don't consider myself unrealistic, but the fact of the matter is, I truely and 100% believe that DH and I have what it takes to make it. We've only been married a year and a half, but we've been together for almost 11 years. We've grown up together and we know each other inside and out. We've dealt with some cr@ppy times in the past and made it through, so I really do believe we will be together for the rest of our lives.

no...because I read somewhere that 50% of marriages end in divorce...so the more people I know who get divorce the better our chances are of staying together.
But on a serious note...other peoples relationships have nothing to do with me and Ken. Yes we have our problems..everyone does...but we are a team and there isn't anything that we can't handle as long as we stick together. Ken and I had our relationship tested once before, when we had to deal with some tragic events...and those events just brought us closer together and proved to us that if we were able to make it through that ordeal...then we can make it through anything.

Re: Do other pples relationships affect ur own?
Yes. It freaks me out a little.
But I don't get paranoid thinking that me and Anthony are going to break up. You can't live your life paranoid.
I went into a relationship knowing that nothing is certain. Anything can happen because we're all humans. But I have faith in our bond. And every time a couple either a celebrity, family, or friend couple break up, we use it as a lesson and try to learn from their mistakes. Our strong point is that we communicate which many people today don't have.
We've only known each other for over 4.5 years but if we happen to part, I wouldn't trade the cherished moments away for anything.

Re: Do other pples relationships affect ur own?
Eye-opener and reality check, yes, but it does not affect how I feel about my own relationship because we spend valuable time making sure those things DON'T affect our relationship. It's a lot of work, but well-worth the effort
