My Dsis friend has been married for 10 years, together for 14 with him and they have a 6 year old son. Things tricky for a while with the wife feeling things weren’t going great, her Dh not as supportive and staying out later (but always stayed out due to job and very sociable person)
It’s come to light recently that he told her he’s met someone else, madly in love with her, brings out the best in him and so on. He’s moved out, moving in with her, set up a bedroom for the child to stay in when he visits. Basically left them with no money or cares about how they will cope with rent and so on, left dog, doesn’t seem bothered. Whole world they had together just..gone..just like that
This was a young, gorgeous couple, a really good team and madly in love with each other

It’s scary

Yeah well years ago women couldn't divorce their husbands even if they were abusive. Thank god we can now leave the relationship without permission.

Really, on which planet was that??

I was going to reply with a snarky link to Let Me Google That For You, but as I don't think you know how, here you go: https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/research/olympic-britain/housing-and-home-life/split-pairs/#:~:text=The%20Matrimonial%20Causes%20Act%201923,cruelty%2C%20desertion%20and%20incurable%20insanity.

That was the top link with one search. I'm sure you could find more if you don't believe me.

We don't know if it's unrealistic though.
They might stay together a long time.

I think the story on the thread that I commented on was about a guy who ditched his wife to be with a much younger french woman, who ditched him after not too long.
