Before no-fault divorce c. 1967, many couples found themselves in a temporary rough patch of a few months. Because the legal & social supports for keeping the marriage together were strong, many found that they overcame the problem period and were very, very happy many years later. 55 years of the divorce tsunami have not resolved 2 prime issues: The adults are still looking to assuage themselves for their lost dreams. The children regard it as the worst thing that ever happened to them.

Except there really is no such thing as ‘no fault’ divorce.

A better word for it is ‘unilateral divorce’. One side decide that they are gone and it is done. The divorces are just as bitter and vicious as there are money and children to fight over.

A better ready for the dad to look at this.

They have ‘gotten married’ in Gods eyes.

When they take each other, they are married. But they are somewhat outside of the crazy marriage and divorce laws that we have.

So there is no ridiculous wedding.

No nasty divorce. When they want to split up, they do. Minimal government interference.

Except - well, the government will get their fingers into the broke up couple if there are any children to fight over.

Two people don't get married anymore. Marriage is a three way contract with the government as the third partner and there is no way to prevent the government from entering the arrangement. Judges have thrown out prenuptial agreements.

A spouse can file for divorce in a state that the other spouse has never been to yet now is beholden to that state.

Was it Lauren Bacall who said maybe a couple should live next to each other in separate houses and visit each other?

Okay any advice would be appreciated.

I am 58; been married to the same man for 31 years.

However he no longer wants to be intimate with me. Tonight I tried to please him but he pushed me away.

He doesn’t want a divorce because he says I make him laugh.

He has me living in a home for seniors with Alzheimers. Been here a year and a half. He doesn’t want me home, where my dog is.

I am not happy with divorce but I want to feel like a man thinks I’m pretty and wants to be with me.

Not sure why I posted this; just feeling lonely in the old-timers place.
