Mum's about to go.

One question that I had reading this is what's new about this, that instead of staying together for the kids, it's more about the fact that it's just simply logistically too complicated and that people don't have time.

Because this is a generation, broadly speaking, Gen X and elder millennials, who had a lot of trauma around parents divorcing or not divorcing, as the author's case may be.

And then have they decided that instead of staying together...

They've just decided that it's logistically too complicated.

What's the difference, I guess?

Yeah, exactly.

It's interesting that you said that men quite quit too.

I hadn't really thought about that because my first thought reading this was that men don't quiet quit marriages, they loud quit marriages.

Oh, I see.

So you think about like the stereotype is sort of compare Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, right?

Jeff Bezos loud quit his marriage and now he's still loud quitting his marriage with his new marriage.

He's flaunting his wealth.

He's traveling the world with his new wife, making it very clear that somehow he has both big divorced energy but also loud quitting and now getting remarried energy.

Bill Gates is a different example of

Melinda Gates French, now Melinda French, has talked about how she felt very alone in the marriage that it's very clear she initiated that separation and divorce.

And maybe Bill Gates quiet quit that marriage.

I think that's a great point because you and I were talking about this article before and I mentioned to you that in the comments everyone said how depressing they found the article.

It was all these comments saying this is the bleakest thing I've ever read.

Why can't these people talk to each other?
