And unfortunately we all have stories showing it's not fair either way.
I have an older friend who was married to a drunk who beatened her.
She had family if I recall correctly throw his drunk ass on a one way ticket train.
She remarried and he loved her greatly. (Eventually passed from Alzheimer's unfortunately / medical negligence during convid).
People shouldn't have to stay locked into abuse
"People shouldn't have to stay locked into abuse."
I completely agree! My position is not that one spouse should be able to trap another, but rather that there should be zero financial incentive for a spouse to lie to get out of a marriage.
The problem is that nobody wants to give up their standard of living for the sake of "escaping", and instead want to have it both ways. That's where the hypocrisy lies. That's where the financial incentive to lie and leave a spouse for a lover while taking half of their assets/income is real and ever present in divorce courts today under the moniker "irreconcilable differences."
Those who claim abuse should get proof and nail those assholes to the wall in the courts.
