Divorce grounds

I am looking hot some advice on grounds for divorce that will be accepted by a judge. We have agreed that stbexh is going to divorce me and had presumed that it would be on unreasonable behaviour grounds. However he has now been advised that this can be hard to get through as our break down is really as a result of drifting apart. He has suggested we do it on adultery grounds but with no one named. He has given me some cases where divorce has been refused.
Should I agree to the adultery grounds to get the divorce through?

I wouldn’t. Unreasonable behaviour can be things like - lack of intimacy. Not sharing hobbies. Not spending time together. Spending too much time at work at expense of family life. Not visiting his family. It’s a fine line though, you don’t have to savage the other person but the grounds have to be serious enough? The Wikivorce website is a good resource for this sort of thing.

Why not just go the separation route?

If neither of you has had full PIV sex with a member of the opposite sex, then neither of you is entitled to a divorce on this ground.

Unreasonable behaviour is fine unless defended. Just get a solicitor to check the particulars.

You can't lie.
Can you wait for 2 years separation with consent?

I cited unreasonable behaviour against exh and the divorce went through smoothly.
