The rate of Divorce in Australia is high, with approximately 2.2 divorces per 1,000 estimated resident population.
The decision to separate and/or divorce is very difficult.
I find it difficult to believe that the decision to separate and divorce can be triggered by the separation or divorce of a friend (unless there is a ‘tryst’ between the parties to the marriage).
I have yet to meet someone who’s decision to separate was brought about by someone else’s decision.
I think that the decision to separate is much more profound than any ‘contagion’ and that the parties deserve greater respect than this oversimplification of this most difficult of decisions.
