There are a few things in life where if somebody tells you those things, you know 100% that they are a grifter.

There should actually have to be a really, really, really good reason why you are divorcing,

and that's particularly true if you have children, because of course, marriage is designed as the

fundamental building block of institutional society.

It is the place where children are reared. It is the place where you produce children in the
