Ah, excellent!

Now, was that the basis on which women selected her partner? Or, did she select on his "provider" capacity?

Don't make me post the paradox again. One more post on how women are mercenary, and I'll do it!

You, frog boy, are teetering on the edge of reason ... well, as usual.

Wow, I'm surprised you have the skills to do that.

OK. *CO positions digits. pokes!*

You expected 5 stars for color? Pullease. We only 5 star for content.

Though I think there are probably several reasons for the difference I do think CO is on to something. Not only do women in crisis assess their mates but they also reassess their lives as a whole. It could be that some of these women were considering divorce anyway and this pushed them to make that final step. Also a health crisis can bring to head problems that were simmering below the surface. For some rare couples it could bring them together but I imagine that more couples lose ground and then each other.

By the way in Mississippi, fault or no-fault, a divorce can go through in as little as three months. I was unaware that other states had longer wait times on divorce.

I have determined a 73.8% probability you will give five stars ramdomly, just to keep me confused!

Thus, I am due!

Now, give! Gimme!

Is that if both parties want to divorce? What if one person does and the other does not?
