That's what they say when they're beyond the home peering out the window. It seems easy when you're not the one sharing the bed, the debts, the history. From afar, endings seem tidy. Up close, they are wrapped in memories, vows, and decades that cannot be precisely folded and stowed.
He should divorce, they say, as though marriage is only a contract. It hurts. Leaving also becomes more about preservation and less about pride.
The reality is that no outsider can fully assess the marriage of another man.
Whether there is still life remaining within what they built or only ashes determines what he should do.
Divorce is not merely an act. This is a choice that changes the map for everyone engaged. And that kind of decision merits more than merely noise. It calls for openness, bravery, and clarity.
