    All young people find all old people quaint, this is nothing like a boomer humor, every generation does this. Boomer humor is more about hating your wife and blaming everything on every other generation.

      Don’t worry, you are heading into all of that as you age. It has ever been so.

          Perhaps, perhaps not. Separating a marriage after 25+ years is no easy thing. The sheer inertia can be impossible to overcome.

            Hate doesn’t happen overnight, you only stay for 25 years with somebody you don’t like because you aren’t being honest with yourself or them.

                It’s never been illegal to get a divorce in the US. You may be thinking specifically of At-Fault Divorce which was the norm in the US until the 60s… when most boomers were in their 20s or younger.

                  Yes, that is what I was thinking! Indeed after reading that, “illegal” is definitely not the right word for “procedurally impossible without extremes”

                  The US is not the only country in the planet nor is its creation the epoch of the beginning of time. You do know that legal frameworks and other countries also existed before the US?

      This is a literal “kid these days” post.

      It’s boomer humour to hell.

      Maybe you need your peepers to help you see.
