The idea
Gray divorce, divorce after fifty, has doubled since nineteen ninety, attributed to expectations of personal happiness in marriage, longer lives and no-fault laws.
In practice
Men after fifty citing growing apart and infidelity; women citing infidelity, a spouse's substance use and emotional abuse.
Where people slip
Overall divorce falls while divorce after fifty rises: two trends, not a contradiction.
