Does anyone find it extremely difficult and troublesome dealing with chics whose parents are seperated, as opposed to a chic whose parents have stayed married?
While I find it very helpful in most cases to apply past learned knowledge in a way that allows you to better understand certain current situations you might have, I don't think that it really is applicable here. I think that the various reactions from women to seperated parents are too broad and general to be able to say with any reasonalbe certainty that it is the seperation of their parents that has made them harder to deal with.
A girl's parents ending a very bad marriage could be beneficial to the girl's outlook and personality because her growing up in stress and argueing constantly would likely make the girl more arguementative and craving conflict as many girls do. Then at the same time ending a seemingly successful marriage could be quite a detriment to the girl mentally, especially if she never saw or was involved in the conflicts.
Let's say a young girl sees her parents get divirced. As she grows that experience could affect her many ways. She could become more socially open, seeing her parents experience as evidence that even if you're unhappy with something, you have the power to change it if you want to. Or she could become a social hermit, thinking that if even her parents couldn't be happy and stay together, that it's not even worth the effort and possible pain or anguish to even try to maintain a relationship.
Again, there are just too many variables to the situation to judge someone's mental or social state based on their parents marital troubles, without taking all of the other factors into account. And besides, given the eye-popping divorce rate, especially in the US, if you try to avoid girls who have divirced parents, you're cutting down your available options considerably. Much easier to just judge everyone on a case by case basis and if it turns out they're more trouble than they're worth, who cares what the underlying cause is?
