To think that adultery should have remained as a reason for divorce?

[LetThereBeLove]

I read so many threads on here of husbands leaving their young (and not so young) families for the OW and leaving their wives to cope. It almost always involves another woman
AIBU to think that they should be divorced for adultery as it is much easier to prove these days.

How would it help?

Divorce is easier than ever these days. The reason for the divorce has no bearing on anything so why waste time trying to prove adultery to a court when all that does is draw out the process more for everyone involved?

You don’t need a reason now, so it’s fairly simple. Adultery also came under ‘unreasonable behaviour’, so it’s neither here nor there.

Why would having to prove something be easier than not needing a reason?

Why? Courts don't make moral judgements, just legal ones and finding fault or trying to just makes the whole thing more acrimonious and makes it harder to co-parent and harder for any kids involved in the situation. It's not like the judge condemns the adulterer or people scorn them for having committed adultery. It's a waste of limited court resources to tie up judges to decide something that has no legal or financial meaning at all.
