That’s nice, but it’s completely irrelevant to a discussion about divorce. Please stick to the actual topic being discussed.
It’s an off-topic post, not a threadshit. A threadshit belittles or dismisses the topic being discussed. There’s no belittling going on here.
In any event, please leave the moderation to the moderators. We’ll decide what’s a threadshit and what needs to be moderated. Don’t junior mod.
My mother always played the victim and dad never said any different so I went along with it until I grew up a bit and realised dad was gay, the marriage had been forced by his “important” family who couldn’t deal with the shame of him. When society changed enough he just wanted to live the life he should always have been able to. Now mum had the right to be mad we kids existed but she agreed to have us to keep him out of prison (twice) for being caught with blokes, he was guilty of not gIving a damn about us after he left but that is a different question. She knew who he was when she married him and clearly it suited her for some reason to live in the facade, the “important” family was a key factor I think, the newspapers of the time treated her as a princess.
Society was to blame for their marriage, their divorce was simply undoing a wrong.
He was an utter arsehole and she a royal bitch but nothing to do with their divorce.
