You were obviously not at fault in the thing, but were the injured party

True, I was. But then you said, “And divorce reform needs to come next. No more bed hopping. God does not approve.”

And

“Yes, if you are married, stay married, see it through..

So you are then saying that in my case or others like mine, you are OK with divorce? I did after all initiate it. And if I were ever to meet a nice man and remarry, would that constitute bed hopping in your opinion?

Making divorce more difficult may not be a bad thing for society overall IMO, but then in my case, once he agreed and didn’t contest it and we worked out on our own and very civilly BTW, the equitable separation of our property, I was able to file for my divorce, filled out and filed papers with the court on my own with absolutely no lawyers involved and did so for less than $300 in filing fees and court costs in total and it was finalized in less than a year. In fact I didn’t even have to appear in court but only to a magistrate with a witness who attested that we were no longer living together and that our marriage was for all intense purposes dissolved. He didn’t even need to show up. And it cost my now ex-husband nothing in lawyer’s fees or court costs either. It wasn’t my intention to screw him financially BTW, just to get the matter over with and with the least amount of further emotional pain and expense to either of us.

If mutually agreed upon and uncontested divorce were made more difficult, it would have meant getting lawyers involved could have cost us both several thousands of dollars each and could have dragged out for years.
