[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest is in college, and I only know of two recent divorces among my friend group:  one was a marriage that has visibly foundered for years, and one was a couple that had always lived somewhat separate lives (e.g, they still had separate bank accounts).  I don't know of any divorces among couples that seem happily married.   [/quote]

Interesting...I'm pushing 60 and I don't know 1 person in a "happy marriage". The thing is people have to be completely miserable to divorce. But "happy" nope. Happy life, yes... but how much the marriage contributes to the happiness I just don't see it.

Most live separately together. [/quote]

This was my parents until recently.  Now at almost 70, I think they realize their time is limited, and they seem to actually love each other again, and are spending most of their time together.  For a few decades before that, they lived seperate lives due to elder care on both sides, my mom spending time helping with grandkids, etc.  But it's like a light went off and they realize their time is running out, and they are happyish together now!  They live in a house with two separate master bedrooms, though. [/quote]
