What is 'grey divorce'?
When everything is not going well between the couple in their married life, both of them should divorce and go their separate ways. Living together and fighting is not good for anyone's mental state. Usually people get divorced for some reason only after 5-10 years of marriage, but nowadays divorce cases are increasing even at older age. In such a situation, the term grey divorce is trending rapidly at this time. Grey divorce is one in which people divorce each other after the age of 40 or 50. After spending a lot of time together, the couple decided to separate. By then the children also grew up. After spending decades together and raising children together, it is very difficult to separate in old age and start a new life again.
Gray divorce is also called silver splitters or diamond divorce. Noted in combination with extensive gray hair or white hair, most common after the age of 40-50. Gray divorce is very common in Western countries. This is not a new trend and its cases are increasing rapidly all over the world.
The reason for getting a grey divorce?
The reason behind such divorce is social and psychological stress. Many times people stay together even after infidelity and cheating in relationships just because they want to raise their children properly. When the children grow up and become independent, the couple divorces and starts living separately. Some couples wait for their children to grow up before taking a grey divorce. Lack of mutual agreement on financial issues, differences related to money, decision making by the breadwinner in money-related matters, etc. also lead to grey divorce at the age of 40-50 years.
