Your son is right unfortunately. I am in the middle of this very thing after 28 years of being married. Never in a million years did I think I would be.
“Good” people like me stayed married. It was the “other” people that didn’t.
I would NEVER remarry without a prenup if that every is in my future.
I am so sorry, HereInTheHeartland, about your marriage ending. After 28 years.. that has got to be a huge adjustment and heartbreak for you. Maybe my son is right.. I don’t know. It just sort of saddens me that marriages that were entered into for a lifetime.. don’t.
