Name: Silver separators.
Age: 50+.
Appearance: Middle-aged and alone.
That’s what happens when you separate silver for a living. No one wants to know. “Silver separator” does not refer to some obscure profession that makes you unattractive to others. It just means old and divorced.
But 50 isn’t old. And my hair isn’t silver yet. I see. Have you ever entertained thoughts of divorce?
I don’t know. Maybe when the kids are older. That’s precisely why divorce is thought to be on the rise among the “silver separators”. They stayed together for the kids, but now they’ve had enough.
Divorce is on the rise everywhere, isn’t it? No. According to new figures from the Office for National Statistics, divorce overall decreased by 2.9% between 2012 and 2013.
Wow. In fact, it’s falling in every major demographic apart from the 50-plus group.
Just because of the kids? That’s part of it, certainly. But increasing longevity may also play a role: a lot of middle-aged couples today would rather call it quits than face another 20 or 30 years of loveless cohabitation.
Whereas in the old days they could just die, and avoid all that paperwork. Exactly.
This is all very depressing, but I guess it’s a good thing that more people are staying together for longer, if only to provide a a tense but stable environment for the children. Maybe. Some folks claim that in the long run, a timely divorce is better for the kiddies than an unhappy marriage maintained for stability’s sake.
Who claims that? Divorce lawyers.
Well, they would, wouldn’t they? Probably. According to a survey by the family lawyers’ group Resolution, eight out of 10 children of divorced parents believe a split is preferable to an intact but unhappy marriage.
Remind me how much a divorce costs again. Between £3,000 and £30,000, depending on how acrimonious. Much more if you’re rich.
In that case, I’d rather draw a line down the middle of the house and wait for death’s sweet release. That’s the spirit – stay positive.
Do say: “Happy 21st, darling! Your father and I have some news.”
Don’t say: “We’ve divided up the books and paintings amicably. If only there were some kind of professional arbiter who could help us separate the silver.”
