Reservations . . .

I have to say, listening to Asunder, what bothers me still is that Rachel Cave sidesteps the whole issue of morality. She does not ask about what led to divorce and I think that is an important question. People don't just divorce for no reason and the history of the relationship really determines the course of the divorce. As a psychologist said to me once, "People act the same way during a divorce as they did during the marriage." Bad behaviour doesn't just emerge because of divorce, the seeds of it must have been there all along . . . they were in my case. While divorce is stressful and heightens tensions, it does not cause immoral behaviour. We have to look at the roots of divorce to solve the issue of divorce.
