At the age of 70 years is it wise to seek divorce because of incompatibility and absence of emotional attachment

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Separation at any age is a very strained and emotionally draining activity. When you are younger, there is a lot of stakes on the ground which includes taking into consideration compatibility issues and then scope for considering separation for the sake of each others' sanity and for the sake of the children as well...
When you are older, usually these differences pale into the background and a general level of acceptance sets in with each partner either understanding the other or doing their own set of things without much involvement from the other. This seems wise at this age as there is a partner around you and loneliness is kept at bay and even if the two of you don't see eye to eye, at least there is another person in the house with you. Now, you may argue on this and say that it's better off without the other person as you and she have nothing in common. But you are right in thinking about whether it's necessary to go through this at your age.
You might want to think about the 'what' after that and how things will be different and if you and your wife are ready to take on a challenge like this.

All the best!

Hi Anu Madam, I am in age of 44 and my wife also same 44. We both married for 15 years and having daughter with age 14. My wife having some mental health issue where she started hating all the people (me, our parents, neighbors, friends). She not talking to anyone and also having fight with all the people she is meeting. Tried some mental health counseling sessions and visited mental health doctors in last 2 years. But she is not willing to accept that she is having mental health issue and also not supporting for treatment. She is connecting all with my daughter and scolding with bad words. this is impacting our daughter's life. Considering future of our daughter, thinking of separating and but wanted to understand whether it is good idea to divorce in the age of 44. Please advice how I can come out of this situation and what will be the impact if I do diverse at this age.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
What do the reports from the Mental Health expert say? What is the diagnosis?
Obviously, there's something that has happened for her to suddenly start hating people, right? No one changes all of a sudden; it takes some huge issue or little ones over a period of time for someone to begin showing changes in their behavior. This absolutely needs to be analyzed.
Having said this, I never suggest separation as the first option as it takes a moment of time to break relationships but takes years and years to build one. So, I would suggest taking the advice of the elders of the family on your side and your wife's side as well. This will ensure that the family is aware of what is going on and will support you and your wife. It's possible someone from your wife's family may talk to her about being serious on counseling sessions and medications if necessary.
Now, whatever the reason, separations and divorce are not easy on anyone; the partners or the family...

All the best!
