One of the bittersweet things so far about my 40s is seeing, on average, how much happier and functional women i know are after divorce while the men fall apart. This isn’t every couple by any means, but it is an ugly pattern. So many women i love have sacrificed so much of their lives and selves for nothing. So many men have never developed skills to really build and sustain relationships - or even learned basic housekeeping and nutrition. Like i thought this would die with the boomers but my elder millennial cohort isn’t immune.
