Defund The CBC Wraith, CBC ghouls tout benefits of late-life divorce

Just a simple goy from the Maritimes
Hey, old-timers: are you married? Don't you know that death is just around the corner and that you should go out and slut it up while you still have time? A woman named Marnie Wraith, who by her own account was married to a perfectly nice guy, decided to bail out of her second marriage at age 60 to do the eat, pray, love thing (good luck with that!) Backing her up is divorce lawyer Jared Grossman, because stereotypes exist for a reason:

"Why more Canadians are getting divorced later in life​


"When Marnie Wraith looked at her relationship and asked herself if good enough was enough for her, she knew she needed a change.
"I needed a recalibration of my life based just on my needs," she told The Current host Matt Galloway.
Wraith and her common-law partner met when she was 50, a few years after her first divorce. They bought a house in Meaford, Ont., and spent their free time travelling. She says they had a good eight years together, but she felt there was more life to experience.

"I was coasting and I felt that I wasn't growing, and being almost 60, there were still more meaningful connections and adventures in life that I wasn't going to get in my situation," she said.

[...]

"As we live longer, you're gonna see a lot more divorces later in life," says Toronto-based lawyer Jared Grossman.
Grossman, of Grossman Family Law, says grey divorces will continue to increase over time, because people have less responsibilities to deal with - like school-aged kids or jobs - when they're older.

"When the kids leave the house, you have the ability to be a little bit more selfish and really have that look inside of you and see what you really wanna do with life," Grossman said."

Cool cool and tell me again why you died alone?
 
Both of my grandparents had faithful partners that gave the other their end of life care. My grandmother, who was 90% blind, took care of my grandfather when he had cancer and he literally died in her arms. He was her eyes and driver almost right to the end.

What kind of psychopath would choose to go through that alone? They are probably just planning on peacing out with MAID at the first sign of trouble.
 
Same. Both sets of grandparents married in their teens.

I recall a client who i had a brief interaction with when I worked in insurance. An old retired woman who, when I asked for household confirmation to identify if I had the correct file open, she proudly stated the name of her husband and the number of years they had been happily married, which of course was longer than I have been alive!

We got into a small conversation about the difference in generations when it came to marriage and she primarily blamed no-fault divorce as a large factor in the differences in how today's generation even views marriage. Her upbringing didn't have no-fault divorce and they had a different idea of marriage than today. They expected to be bound to their spouse for life. With such an upbringing she remained bound to her husband from youth to old age even as no-fault divorce became a thing.

As a child of divorced parents, I never had a good impression of marriage as it seemed to be shit on left right and center by and large by woman and the men who had been burnt by those women. It was always interesting to me how the older generations went into their old age with the person they spend their youth with but their very children can't seem to bind themselves to anyone in good faith.

My parents were married and divorced within a year. The only time I ever saw them in the same place without the big screaming match was at my wedding. Wife and I met at the age of 21 and will be 40 in a few weeks.

Marriage is a fine institution that is given a bad name by retards and narcissists. I view the education system and its faux enlightenment as the cause of seemingly every other person being some combo of narcissist and/or psychopath.

Basically every single value espoused by the system is 100% wrong and belongs in the dumpster of history.

Mine divorced right when i was was hitting puberty - Which is to say right when I might be taking a keen interest in the opposite sex.

Pre-divorce I got to experience a big family with aunts uncles cousins and grandparents, thanksgivings, Christmases, Easters etc. It was blissful, wholesome and loving; A big happy family and I was a happy kid.

Divorce changed all that. Now it was less of the uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents and you got two Christmases two thanksgivings in the same (respective) day that is now rushed. I was now a miserable child and went into adulthood with a miserable disposition about courtship and opposite sex and there was nothing anywhere that would attempt a course correction.
 
@Nink: Divorce always messes children up terribly. I've never met anyone growing up whose parents split and who was the same afterwards. My wife's parents divorced when she was a teenager and she's still coping with it to some degree nearly 40 years later. This doesn't make rational sense, but it must have something to do with a broken sense of trust and stability
 
@ChevChelios @Nink My parents divorced when I was 16. W/r/t your observations re Mrs. Chev, while I’ve been fortunate and blessed in my 20+ year marriage that’s still going strong, a big reason why I didn’t chose to have kids is that I saw and didn’t want to find myself in my mother’s position of working to support and raise multiple kids on her own on the wrong side of the tracks.

tldr: I’m a DINK as a result of my parents’ divorce.
 
@ChevChelios

It makes rational sense when you consider that parents are a child's first role models, and of course, first impressions last the longest. To have a child witness such failings of their parents when they are at an impressionable age is surely going to leave a mark of some sort. Also watching your father drink himself into an early grave over it really helps too. Alcohol and an early grave was the example left for me as for what awaits me if I pursue the wrong woman. Oh and poverty cause don't miss a child support payment!

Life is short and confusing. And people are sinners - I'm no saint myself.
 
@Trudeaus coke dealer: I was in my early 20s when my parents divorced and had just moved out to live with Mrs. Chev a year or two earlier, so I missed all the drama -- but for my slightly younger siblings still at home it was pretty bad, for example there were fist-fights between my brother and my father. My sister was in therapy for years afterwards.

Perhaps selfishly, I thought at the time it was just as well that my parents did split since they were complete opposites: my dad was a dour, intellectual Scotsman (and serial womanizer, which is what brought about the final break), whereas my mother is a jolly Irish peasant type. Since I'm a mix of both of them I could appreciate that extreme incompatibility on a personal level! Sometimes divorces are necessary, but when children (even grown ones) are in the house great care must be taken to minimize conflict and ensure as much continuity as possible
 
“… fewer responsibilities with age.” Typical boomer mindset. If I make it to old age, I don’t see my responsibilities being fewer, although they will likely change. If you’ve raised your kids to self-sufficiency, I believe you should now have more time and freedom to fix what’s broke in your community and country.

ChevCheliosKnow how some computers have that tab in the bottom right corner that can bring up a bunch of news headlines? At least one of those headlines a day for the last week has been some iteration of " I had no kids and life is great " or " I lost my identity when I became a mom "

It's overt enough where I was able to explain and show how a coordinated propaganda push works. Always white people in these articles.
