I'd like to ask you readers to respond to a poll, of sorts. My mother today commented that her divorce took nine years; her closest co-worker's, ten. Other of her colleagues, she said, talk about divorces that dragged out between five to seven years.
By contrast, after the discovery of my STBX's affair in mid-November, she burned our marriage completely to the ground in just four and a half months. We now have zero contact.
