“Sorry about your divorce.”
I am not divorced. Just aware.
If you have no dog in the fight, you certainly went to the wall insulting my take on the situation (”ridiculous”, “absurd”, etc), which if you reread my post, did not imply the absoluteness you infer; but rather offered other scenarios without declaring them to be an absolute norm, as many of the embittered divorced persons on this thread have been doing.
I’ve done a great deal of research on the topic and am more than aware that no one’s individual situation is applicable to all. Yet many of the discouraged persons on here are commiserating hopelessly and in agreement that it is all the fault of the opposite sex. That is sad for them going forward. Both parties need to learn from the experience, for the sake of their kids, so that they don’t pass on bitterness and hopelessness to them. Passivity and lack of accountability in relationships leads to breakdown as surely as active abuse.
