Woman gets divorced after reflecting on mostly celibate marriage

Brooklyn, NY – Marriages end for a variety of reasons, and any reason can be considered a good reason to divorce in a no fault case. While things like arguing over money and parenting are some of the most common causes of a divorce, significant lifestyle changes or differences can cause a couple to break up as well.

Yahoo News reported on a story involving a woman who eventually found that the very sparse and infrequent intimate contact with her husband was because she was actually a lesbian [1].

Woman comes out as a lesbian to her husband and decides they need a divorce

The writer remembered that her and her husband had a fairly serious lack of intimacy over the course of the years of their marriage. However, it took several years for her to realize that there was a problem because both were immersed in their careers and other responsibilities. They attended marriage counseling to try to work through their problems, and the counselor recommended some time alone for each spouse to have a retreat and think about where they are going in life. At this time, the writer realized she was actually a lesbian and the couple decided to end their marriage a short time later after some discussion.

Lifestyle changes and divorce

It is fairly common for lifestyle changes to happen as people get older. People develop different interests that can diverge, they can have separate social lives and career ambitions, and start to spend more time apart. Sometimes, these changes can cause friction in a marriage or a divorce, especially if they are as significant as a person realizing that they will not be able to be intimate with a member of the opposite sex.

No fault divorce helps in these situations

When a couple realizes that their marriage simply will not work for various reasons, such as this, they can file for a no fault divorce. This means that one spouse can file the divorce paperwork and merely say that their marriage has broken down with differences that cannot be resolved. This bypasses the process of proving problems such as adultery, domestic violence, or abandonment that can be relevant in a fault based divorce.
