Yeah… No. If I hated my wife I would get a divorce.
Perhaps, perhaps not. Separating a marriage after 25+ years is no easy thing. The sheer inertia can be impossible to overcome.
Hate doesn’t happen overnight, you only stay for 25 years with somebody you don’t like because you aren’t being honest with yourself or them.
Or it was illegal to get a divorce.
It’s never been illegal to get a divorce in the US. You may be thinking specifically of At-Fault Divorce which was the norm in the US until the 60s… when most boomers were in their 20s or younger.
The US is not the only country in the planet nor is its creation the epoch of the beginning of time. You do know that legal frameworks and other countries also existed before the US?
Boomers are a US cohort and that was who we were talking about.
Wow, way to be super narrow minded. Baby boomers are a worldwide category. The US is not the only country that experienced a population boom after the second world war, they didn't even experience the largest population boom by a long mile. The cultural markers are usually slightly different, but they also have a ton of overlap, over all continents and countries. Anyway, I agree with your points elsewhere on the thread, but you're kind of a cunt.
Yes, that is what I was thinking! Indeed after reading that, "illegal" is definitely not the right word for "procedurally impossible without extremes"
