Anyone here? [View all]

Not a lot of activity in this group, so before I posted I thought I'd check in to see if anyone's here.

Contemplating divorce after 30+ years. Any experiences?

Surprisingly - or at least I think it's surprising - there's not much in the way of internet forums on this. Articles, sure, and lawyers. And a forum or two with not much more than a few posts. I read on one site that more than 600,000 people over 50 are getting divorced annually (not sure if that's 600K couples or 300K couples, but whatever). You would think there would be people sharing, agonizing, contemplating, commiserating, but that seems not to be the case.
