Why should my perception of someone change because their parents are divorced?

From then on you will perceive them as someone with divorced parents.

But that shouldn't change who they are. Why should you label someone by the marital conditions of their parents?

Maybe because you realize that they might've has a tough life due to their parentd fighting and you think to be more accepting and less mean to them.

I have divorced parents. Honestly I would be upset if I found out someone was treating me differently because of that.

Okay, it was just what I thought.

Everyone who NW'd is lying. Can you honestly tell me that you've never, //ever// changed your view of someone because you found out something new and/or surprising about them? We all do this, even if it's only on a subconscious level.

Of course. As I learn something new about a person (or even an inanimate objects) my perception changes.

I agree but divorce isn't very uncommon where I come from and I actually think some people assume I have divorced parents by default. I could be wrong of course.

I don't think much about others having divorced parents though.

I had a friend who I'd only known for a month or two, and then I found out he was on medication for ADD or slight autism or something. I don't treat him differently, it was just surprising.

I wonder why some people are NWing. Your perception of them an even change for the better. I find it hard to believe that some people have not experienced this. I don't agree with the divorce thing (It's not a big deal at all to me and is super common), but the idea of the post still stands.
