Q. Does divorce hurt the midlifer emotionally like it does to the spouse who was left behind? Or, are they so in their own world it doesn't affect them?
A. Generally, the person who is trying to get out of the marriage feels a sense of relief, not pain. The person who wants to save the marriage is the one who feels the pain. Later, after the extramarital relationship starts to go bad, then the person who wanted out starts to feel the pain.
