Stupid 18 yr old??? Hummm... making a mistake at 18 or at 38, 50 or even 60 years old is a mistake..and all ages can make a stupid mistake.

Getting pregnant at 18 and marrying... well you are trying to make the best out of a difficult decision and yes you are hoping your feelings at 18 will be the same for each other for years to come... again what difference is that if someone at age 30 is making that decision?? You can still make the wrong choice by marrying a person at 30 and to find out it was a bad decision. ANYONE getting married has a bright, happy future in mind... seriously if you don't then don't get married.

Unfortunately not all marriages survive a life time. Some last a few weeks, month, a few years or 10, 20 40 years before the towel is thrown in.
Sure you can look at it as we were married for 38 years and now divorcing (no abuse or affairs)... what a shameful thing "or" you can look at it another way. We were married for 38 years and stuck together regardless of how tough it was for us as a couple for the sake of our family now its time to do what is right for us. You can choose how you want to look at it.
I have a hard time viewing it as shameful for either one of the situations.
