Do you believe divorce can be contagious?
A recent study led by a Brown University researcher concludes that divorce may be contagious. It says that if a friend of yours gets a divorce, you are 75 percent more likely to do the same. Have you seen that happen?
BRAD KESLER, Wapakoneta: “I think there may be some validity to that, because I’ve seen it happen in the past, and I’ve actually had recent experience with it myself.”
TOM PACE, Beavercreek: “No, and I think that finding is nuts.”
KARLA RIEB, Washington Twp.: “I would believe it, especially with close friendships, where their lifestyles influence each other. But I haven’t seen it personally.”
SHAWN BROOKS, Xenia: ” No, I haven’t seen it. We’ve been married 20 years, and a lot of our friends have been divorced in that time.”
MARTY MORRIS, Kettering: “No, I haven’t seen it, and I don’t believe it.”
