And then I remembered no-fault divorce. I remembered that marriage is the ONLY LEGAL CONTRACT A PERSON CAN BREAK WITHOUT THE OTHER PARTY’S CONSENT AND WITHOUT FACING ANY LEGAL REPERCUSSIONS.

What else can you do . . . when one party simply abandons the other?

This is what has happened to me. My wife left me. For no good reason. I believe in marriage. I took my vows seriously and did not break them. I did everything I could over the last couple of years to try to keep our marriage together. But she was not willing. I am opposed to divorce. But there is nothing I can do to stop it. The divorce is scheduled to be finalized next week.

It is something that probably wouldn’t have happened a hundred years ago. I’m saddened by what has happened to you. But, what do you think are the major differences between now and a hundred years ago?

So very sorry; God be with you.

As I've tried to point out in previous posts, abandonment is enabled by no-fault, which permits a partner to leave with no legal consequences specific to the abandonment, therefore delivering no justice to the abandoned party.

I’m sorry to hear that.
