One thing I’ve discovered throughout this process is people who stay married and are struggling want to know there is suffering in divorce. They aren’t conscious of this wanting, but it’s there all the same. They want to know the alternative is so much worse than what they’re currently dealing with. They like to imagine there is some sort of reward at the end of their stress and strife, a cookie for toughing it out. That, simply put, the moral high ground will always be theirs.
