Ok, then TRaveller still may have been talking about women who left abusive or alcoholic spouses. This is really different from most of the WASs here.
And the truth is that there are three reasons why WASs don't get the divorce done. One is they're just too busy in lalaland and can't be bothered to do the grunt work (hoping for the zipless divorce). Another reason is that it financially benefits them not to get divorced. The third is that by staying married, they have an excuse as to why they can't marry the affair partner.
