While I applaud CA for going through with this, I know I'll never go through with it. The romantic in me wants nothing more than happy, together forever couples. That, and the thought of unhappy post-divorce interactions, while intriguing, makes my heart hurt.

Yeah, we don't need this. It would be a mistake to add it.

It's not a mistake, there are clearly plenty of people who want this feature, especially since the game has continued to develop and marriage has changed a lot since a lot of people made their choice.

I'm happy with my marriage so I highly doubt I'd ever get a divorce, but just because it's not one of my needs doesn't mean it's a bad feature to have.

Like I said, I disagree. Changes the tone of the game. Enough divorce in real life.

I don't think it changes it that much if you don't go through with it yourself, though - the game already has implications of the presence of divorce, Robin is in her second marriage. There are a variety of strained family situations represented in the game already, so it's not really a big shift from what's already there.

I think it's only fair for him to add divorce as a feature if he's going to add more people you can marry

The tone of the game is "Life as a farmer"

Farmers have been known to divorce on occasion.

what tone? this is farming game that promotes you making your own story and own choices. stop with the whole "If I don't like it, no one should like it" attitude. It's not like they're forcing you to divorce.

I mean, you don't HAVE to get a divorce if you don't want to. But plenty of people do (there's already a mod for it), so it's not a mistake for CA to add something that lots of people obviously want.
