Matt Lauer's divorce makes for an awkward moment

Married before?!? LOL!

At the ripe old age of 60, at least 1/2 of all of my friends/acquaintances (young and old) have been married before, at least once, and some even more than once.

Awkward?

Not in my lifetime! It makes for some of the funniest stories I can tell! And it puts everyone at ease. So, if that's a problem... get over it!

If 50% of marriages end in divorce, I am guessing the other 50% end by death. It won't take your kids long to realize divorces happen when half their friends deal with it! All joking aside, divorce at a young age is better than a lifetime of unhappy marriage. The problem with most divorces is that adults are immature about the process, and the kids become another pawn in the divorce.

Who cares what he thinks. Or how he might feel about it. Does anyone think he would think twice abour bringing it up to someone he would be interviewing? Or maybe even cramming it down the throat of his viewers? Trying to put someone on the spot? He wouldn't think twice. He would relish the opportunity. Of course depending on who the interviewee might be.

i don't think she meant anything by it. these people tend to get married, divorce then married again then divorce. its hard to keep up. im sure she did not mean anything by it. he should not be so sensitive. if you are keep out of segments that could embarrse you.

Who gives a damn about Matt's divorce or anything else in his private life. The guy is a jerk, anyhow.

I have been married 27 times in 30 years. When someone asks me when I got married, I say 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985 all the way up to 2008. Then I say the divorces were ALL their faults.

Like the song says, Everything counts in large amounts, but in view of the new standards of billions & trillions, pusha!

I tried to find anything in Meredith's question that would call for her or Matt to be embarassed. I see I'm not the only one who missed it. Lighten up people, so many have been married, divorced, remarried or not, all for various reasons. What's the shame?

I see nothing wrong with her question. It was a segment on marriage, where that is a normal everyday kind of question to be asked. Who's making this an issue....Matt lauer....OR YOU??!!

Ok, so Meredith ventured into territory that was 'uncomfortable' - so what. I have been married & divorced twice... and was fortunate to leave on amicable terms both times. In fact, I'm still in regular contact with my 2nd and I'm that much better for it. Guess I'm just fortunate.

Divorce~it is what it is. It's not a bad thing if you can come out on the other side of it with your dignity still in tact, if you can breathe better and walk with your head level. Those days of being label "divorced" with a capital "D" are gone. It's better to come from a stressful amd miserable marriage than to keep on living in one. If you are sensitive to your divorce than you could be carrying a big helpiing of guilt or you haven't adjusted to it, yet.

Geez, what a mountain out of a molehill! Everybody gets hit upside the head with an unintentional faux pas once in a while. The trick is to just let it slide by. Kind of like when you're in a crowd and you fart, give the guy next to you the stink eye and keep on truckin'!

I got married at age 16, we just celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary this year. We have a son who is 23, a daughter who is 21, and another daughter who is 18 and the mother of my grandbaby who turned 5 months old today.

I could not imagine my life without him. He has been a great father, husband and best friend. He is the reason that we have been able to keep it together all these years. We have had so many ups and downs but we pulled together and made it through.

I am proud that we stuck together even though everyone said we would not last a year because we were too young.

I knew in my heart that it would work out.

It doesn't always work out like that and that is what I tell my kids.
