“I got divorced when I was sixty-four. We had a good run. We were married for 36 years. We’re not enemies.We just outgrew each other. When the kids were in the house, all our focus was on them.But after they left, there just wasn’t any reason to keep doing it. We were just living our own lives—together.Neither of us was all that interested in changing. So what’s the point in staying together?If you talk to most people my age, and they’re really being honest, they’ll tell you that they’re dissatisfied with their partner.But then they’ll shrug their shoulders and say: ‘Where else am I going to go?’ Because most people can’t stand to be alone.My ex-wife and I never had that problem.”
六十四岁的时候我离婚了，我们之前一直相处的不错，我们做了36年的夫妻，我们并不是敌人。我们只是性格不合，当孩子在家的时候我们的重心都放到孩子身上，但是当孩子离开家后我们就各做个事。我们俩都不想对此做出改变，那为什么还要在一起呢？如果你和我这个年龄段的人聊天，他们中大多说会说他们对自己的另一半并不满意。但是他们又会无奈的耸耸肩说“我又能怎么办呢”。因为大多说人都无法忍受单身。但是我和我前妻不存在这些问题。
