I just can’t imagine anyone in their right mind deciding to file for divorce at Christmas time. Not sure what part about “until death do us part” of their vows they obviously did not take seriously. I do believe there are some reasons why a divorce might be sought such as substance or physical abuse, or one of the persons having an affair which destroys trust. Perhaps more thought given to the reasons for marrying a particular person before taking the plunge might be in order.
My generation was really big on “marrying your own kind” and stressed compatibility in religion, race, politics, money aspirations, culture, having children, education, etc. Yet I see more and more people particularly over 60 who are newly single and trying to figure out what to do about the rest of their lives. Sad.
Key words: “in their right mind”. She wasn’t. Thanks for your reply!
