How often do your sim marriages fail?

I think I had a couple of divorces in the early game, but none in the last couple of years.

I actually did play Bob and Eliza Pancakes once, just long enough to have them get divorced, moved Eliza to a house in Windenburg, then marked both as unplayed to see what MCCC would do with them while I played my main Sims.

MCCC married them again -- to each other.

Can't fight fate, I guess.

That tends to make me really attached to my sims' spouses and their relationships, and it hurts me to break them up. I think I divorced a couple once in 7 generations of my legacy save, but it broke my heart. Usually if I want to throw some drama in there I kill one of the spouses, because for some reason I'd rather that happen than they get divorced. Plus divorce makes it hard to figure out what to do with the kids :/

This is exactly how I feel! I put a lot of effort into choosing and am so delighted by the courtship, I can't handle the thought of breaking them up or letting the relationships fade.

almost never! t try to make sure that my future spouse has cthe same traits and wants as I do, or at least similar.

wow!! I missed some letters! got ahead of myself :#

So how do you decide a marriage has failed?

Because in my game, even evil overlord Malcolm Landgraab has managed to keep his marriage!

Ok, for me the marriage “fails” if there is...
-cheating (usually this is when mcc has a male sim impregnate a random girl (not my sim), who is pregnant while the marriage takes place and I don’t find out about the other baby until they’re married... kick him out right away). Sometimes it is because of temptations as well, so like if somebody like Don Lothario or Bella Goth comes near my sims, but that doesn’t happen very much and is only with scandalous sims
-one sim wants more children than the other sim (some of my male sims want so many kids, but the females aren’t willing to carry them so the male meets a new girl, or sometimes (rarely) vice versa)
-a sim dies and then the widow remarries (this is super rare because usually my sims meet a partner their age, but you never know what could happen...)
-a sim with a bad or stubborn personality gets stuck with a great sim, but usually this is me barging in on mcc made marriages and splitting the sims apart

But I’m going to start to change my ways a bit so when they marry they don’t ever divorce :D
This forum has really changed my ways of thinking, and because I live with parent problems irl, that’s probably why I try to incorporate it into my games because I express myself through them. That is going to change though! I want marriages to be forever :)

Never.

My sims get closer and more affectionate every day.

I've only had one sim marriage ever end in divorce. Wolfgang never saw that coming.. or did he?

When my Sims divorce it's not because they are having arguments... It's because I'm bored with one of them. :D Rarely do I kill sims on purpose. They are lucky for the most part getting the boot instead.

Never. I don't think I'd enjoy playing a story with marital drama. The only time my Sims would remarry is if a spouse dies

Yes when I’m bored then I boot a partner out. But I really never divorce them otherwise.
