Search Results: will he divorce her

I have a friend Alex (62 year old male) whose divorce will be final next month. He was married for 28 years, and the last nine years were devoid of love or sex. He separated from his wife about a year ago. He wanted to start dating, used an online service to meet available women, and candidly disclosed his status as "separated."

He met Linda (56 year old female.) The picture above is not her but she looks very similar; she is a very cute lady. Alex and Linda are in the same profession (architects) and have many common interests. They started dating and their relationship quickly became physical. Alex was very enamored with Linda. They spent weekends together, took a few weekend trips together, and occasionally saw each other during the week. His divorce is not yet final and he is not eager to find his next wife but he will be monogamous with a woman who is a good match for him. Alex is not "in love" with her but has great respect and fondness for her.

At a certain point, she disclosed that she has a serious and progressive renal disorder that will likely result in her needing to have dialysis on a regular basis. People who are on dialysis usually need to have it done three times per week and they cannot travel anywhere without first making arrangements for dialysis at their travel destination. It means that she will progressively become an invalid and her partner will need to be her health care assistant and attendant. But, at present, she is still active. And he is very healthy and actve.

Alex wants to gradually break off the relationship but he feels guilty about making that decision. However, staying with her means a lifetime of taking care of her. So. . . if you were Alex, what would you do?

These days marriage is a really risky bet, if a marriage didn't work out a man can lose his entire wealth in paying alimony, child support, and also miscellaneous legal expenses.

Which will eventually leave him financially broke. He'd be destroyed completely.

Man mostly have to pay alimony to women, even though she cheat, still court will order him to pay her alimony and in some cases also child support.

Isn't it unfair?

I think women these days are earning pretty well. They really don't need a men to take care of them financially. They're strong both mentally and financially.

Please ask government to remove this alimony law. Coz so many men like me can't get out of a toxic marriage. I want a divorce but my wife is threatening me of a huge alimony amount after divorce.

I do want a divorce but I don't want to pay alimony, I want to restore my life I need money for that I'm only 24, but because of this stupid law I'm liable to pay alimony. That's just unfair! I admit I made huge a mistake of marrying but I realised my fault and will never marry again.
