Several months back I mentioned my friend in Nashville - his sister informed him that she was working with an ex-girlfriend of mine. Ex sent word for me to please call her, LAF, >no thanks. Although I looked her up on Facebook just to see what see looked like - fake horse teeth dental implants/boob job/Raven black hair, in good shape. She could get any boomer she wants - my age group [boomer] males are always chomping at the bit to get married for some reason. So while on facebook I looked up another Ex named Donna - same-same - already had a boob-job but got a bigger boob-job. She also just got divorced,, #3 for her also. She has already found a new man - very likely had him in her pocket before she divorced #3,<it's what they do.
I'll bet $$ that all of their husbands treated them ok - 80% of divorce is the woman's doing. That's because in 80% they get paid to file. Women by in large, have very little to lose when filing for divorce. Yep , the old fashioned way - Dad paid for the wedding Husband pays for the divorce. My Mom - married 4 times, widowed once- divorced 3 times - I learned a lot at a young age.

Do you need a Haz Mat permit to put all this Silicone in the ground at death?
America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

The reasons for the split were myriad: Children were out of the house, her husband was semiretired and Ralston was starting a business. Then COVID-19 hit and set the stage for a breakup. .” That article very carefully skirted around the real reason for the divorce: hubby was about to dip into his retirement funds. Wifey's got to get her piece of the pie before the old SOB starts draining the savings. Divorces are usually about dìck, or dollars.

Funny thing. My first wife divorced me. About five years later she tells my second wife that should never divorced me. Actually it turned out to be a good thing. Number two and I made all the way till death do us part. I got really lucky the second time around. No hurry looking for number three. PJ

I miss the days of happy marriages that lasted forever...
You know, like when meemaw and peepaw slept in separate beds for the last 25 years.
Or when the first heart attack did dad or grandpa in at 51. Low divorce rates baby!

What other people chose to do is of no interest to me as long as it doesn't impact me in a direct negative manner.

Theory...Menopause plus the Karen attitude creates a perfect storm of realizing you have no idea who you are living with post menopause, Then give it 5 to 7 years of toughing it out hoping it will get better...boom, there you are in that 65 yr old bracket, living with a mean strange woman in your sunset years...tough it out? or take the financial hit and bail...stats wise it looks like a lot of people chose to bail. Hang a 'boomer' label on it if you want...but it's just biology... in ancient societies, men chose to acquire some younger wives as number 1 wife got older and meaner.. even way out here in the boonies, I know of a couple lookers that could fit that second or third wife role ................ except I have a hard enough time dealing with the one I already have.................and vice versa.

After ~10 divorces, they learn how to play the game.
Step 1 Good man is married to bad woman who divorces him and gets the house.
Step 2 Old man wants sex with young woman. Young woman wants a house. Get married, get divorced.
Step 3 Man sees woman with a house, marries her, refinances house, blows the money. Gets divorced.
This is how the good man lost his house and a bad mans spends the home equity.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps

I will add one reason - healthcare and wealth protection. Care and Caid have enough loopholes that wealth can be quickly sucked up with assisted living, nursing homes and other costs of insurance. Caid will cover an individual with limited means or Care can cover those with "disabilities" and max out benefits. There is a model that folks are divorcing shifting assets publicly, living together privately and protecting wealth. Person A has a significant health need. They divorce and lose the net asset value in the process. It does not require an equitable settlement. Person A and Person B continue as if still married, but all assets are then transferred to Person B. Person B; healthier and with a longer projected lifespan, places those assets in a trust protected from Caid and Care requirements, still has access until passing and then, after 3-7 years, can also get on Caid a and protect assets and income. Had a family friend I helped outa a healthcare jam that owed $30,000 for one episode of care, lived in a $600,000 beach house, had a 34 ft fishing cat. Was making less than $12,000 a year in "income" and had limited assets in their name. Helped them obtain charity care for the entire balance.

Difficult to think of anything that is more destructive of wealth than divorce.
And when you are old, it's nigh on impossible to make up the lost cash. Let me introduce you to my ex....... I was never broke a day in my life before, or after my marriage. During? Oh, my, the ways money can just disappear!

I know numerous retired people that got divorced. I get it. When you're young, you both are working and raising kids in most cases. During those years you grind out work and parenthood. You're on the same team, the kids are the glue keeping you together. Years fly by and the kids that were buffers move out. Suddenly, it's you and the wife one on one again. After all of those years together it's easy to get complacent and grow apart. The re-connection is difficult for many people as the years have changed both parties goals and dreams. Mix in some contacts from outside influences and it's truly a struggle. Social media is a big negative in many marriages also. Lots of hookups start there.

My parents are old as dirt and they still love each other.
I can't imagine my wife ever not being in love with me forever.

I just found out yesterday that my half-sister [middle] and her husband divorced. They're hardcore Christians , I guess that's why it surprised so much. They raised several kids who are now in their 20's-30's. I haven't been in contact with them in 20 years.
Youngest sister and all info. of her and family has been deleted from facebook?
