“I got divorced when I was sixty-four. We had a good run. We were married for 36 years. We’re not enemies.We just outgrew each other. When the kids were in the house, all our focus was on them.But after they left, there just wasn’t any reason to keep doing it. We were just living our own lives—together.Neither of us was all that interested in changing. So what’s the point in staying together?If you talk to most people my age, and they’re really being honest, they’ll tell you that they’re dissatisfied with their partner.But then they’ll shrug their shoulders and say: ‘Where else am I going to go?’ Because most people can’t stand to be alone.My ex-wife and I never had that problem.”

六十四歲的時候我離婚了，我們之前一直相處的不錯，我們做了36年的夫妻，我們並不是敵人。我們只是性格不合，當孩子在家的時候我們的重心都放到孩子身上，但是當孩子離開家後我們就各做個事。我們倆都不想對此做出改變，那為什麼還要在一起呢？如果你和我這個年齡段的人聊天，他們中大多說會說他們對自己的另一半並不滿意。但是他們又會無奈的聳聳肩說“我又能怎麼辦呢”。因為大多說人都無法忍受單身。但是我和我前妻不存在這些問題。
