My brother got divorced after 9 years. His wife was a good person genuinely good and everyone kept telling him, “Alex, you’re an idiot.” In court she asked for the house, the car, and about $1,200 a month in child support. He stood up and said, “Take it all.” Even the judge asked him to repeat himself. His lawyer looked like he was about to fall out of his chair. After court I drove him to the one-bedroom apartment he’d rented and asked what the hell he was doing.
