So, divorce

Seeing the marriage thread made me curious to hear people's experiences of divorce.

Anyone willing to tell their story? The costs, how easy it was, lessons they have for anyone that may go through it?

It's cheaper not to have loved though

Idk, currently having half my bills paid for both my fiance is certainly helpful.

Staying in hotels is also essentially half the cost.

So there are some cost savings here and there

It might not be a long shot to say that 75% of people are unhappy in their marriage and 56% divorced. So statistically the chances of a successful one is not in your favour.

what would be interesting is to see the age groups and which is most likely to divorce and which is least likely. i feel like as you get older you're more likely to have a succesful marriage, but then at the same time, perhaps as you get older and have more money, you're more tempted to go enjoy a single life that you couldn't while younger and with less money.
