    Even though my parents are divorced, I don't find it normal either.

    I think it became more accepted and "normal" or "acceptable" in the 80s and especially the 90s. I think it was frowned upon still in the 70s, early 80s.

    Divorce has always been a part of society, it just wasn't as dramatizes or accessible as it is now. Everything that is happening now, has happened before in a different way with different consequences. Men cheated on their wives, women had babies from men other than their husbands. social history will always repeat itself.

    What's abnormal about it? People fall in love and they fall out of love. When they fall in love, often they get married. Why shouldn't they dissolve the marriage if their feelings have changed? Does staying in a relationship that makes you unhappy seem more "normal" to you?

    I think it became more normal when there were more opportunities for both parties to be able to sustain themselves independently.
