In my previous comment I was thinking about a couple of my friends in particular...one has a very pampered husband who is extremely fussy(and critical) about the meals prepared by his wife who works equally long hours. We go out to dinner a couple of times a year but sure enough he will call several times asking when she will be home and what he can eat in the meantime ! Another fellow cannot make a decision on his own. He has to call his wife about every hour on the hour to get her approval of every move he makes. She tells me she is not sleeping, he even wakes her up to ask her questions. Another fellow is a total *ss, makes loud, sexist and obnoxious political comments while his wife is just a sweetheart and so very refined. I have been avoiding dinners with them as I grit my teeth when I am around him for long. So, as for the theory that the way to avoid divorce is to marry a wonderful educated younger partner, it is probably quite reasonable and do-able. The women in question all have better jobs and more formal education than their husbands and are younger to boot.
and look directly south of the Equator.
