After more than fifty years of marriage, seventy-five-year-old Rose decided she wanted a divorce from her husband, Charles. They had met in college, raised two children, and shared a lifetime together. Yet Rose had begun feeling trapped and convinced herself that Charles was controlling her.
As Rose became distant and irritable, Charles couldn’t understand what had changed. He tried to talk to her, but she pushed him away. Eventually, she asked for a divorce. Charles, heartbroken but loving her deeply, agreed because he didn’t want to stand in the way of her happiness.
