Writing this as someone who “simply can’t imagine getting divorced*” I decided to just make my character as astonished & confused as I would be. (write what you know?)
I do feel like I’m bumbling around a bit here. This guy is a math professor, gets divorced after his daughter goes to college— didn’t expect it, even if he understands it.
*I also get this is naive

@futurebird all the ones that involve the divorced couple getting back together were done to the death back in the 1980s.
