Congrats on the promotion! I never understood the lyric to that song “God bless the child that’s got his own” until I was getting divorced. Having the wherewithal to take care of ourselves is powerful.
It’s crazy how long it takes some MLCers to go through with the divorce they wanted. I liken it to Erica Jong’s “zipless f—k”, where clothes simply fall off with no awkward fumbling with buttons and zippers, and there are no consequences. Some MLCers seem to expect a “zipless divorce”, where there’s no tedious paperwork or lawyer fees and they don’t have to give up a thing while they ride off into their new fantasy life.
