Holy crap, if this is the way most women behave, then no wonder the divorce rate is so high! And yeah, I can complain about Ellie’s bad behaviour, because I’m a woman!
Not necessarily. A lot of the content in a newspaper (especially the “local color” stuff like Elly’s column) exists to fill the space between the ads (which are how the paper makes money). It doesn’t matter if a lot of people read it; local stuff is better filler than stuff grabbed from the wires.
Proves nothing. Maybe she thinks something better came along. Both sides look at divorce as an easier than trying to do the hard work of staying together. No fault was just another way of knocking down walls that helped to preserve society. Not all marriages are good, but not all divorces are for a good reason either.
Hmm… looks like what she means is either “I decide whose opinion I want to ask” or “I want him to think I make my own opinion”.
I know what happens when I ask my husband things like this. He says something kind but “helpful” like “I will support you in whatever you want to do” over and over again, no matter how I approach it. Apparently, he doesn’t want to order me around. I no longer ask him his opinion on anything.
No fault divorces usually result in somewhat friendly separations, unlike the old days when they were ready to kill each other before divorce was discussed.
