For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.

"When we utter our vows, many people say, 'Till death do you part.'....My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow," Morgan argued.

See, I don't care if someone doesn't want to end their own vows. You can make a vow to do anything. As long as it only involves you, then you do you.

Everyone else, though gets to make their own decisions for themselves. If they don't want to continue in a legal marriage contract, they can leave it. That's a personal choice and they live with the consequences of that choice. Split the wealth, work out kids, and move out.

I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone. Been there, it sucks. Even if it's the right choice, it sucks. But sometimes the suck of the divorce is less than the suck of staying, so people can choose to leave a relationship. That's what adults do.

Trying to force your ex-partner to stay is because you're a coward. Face your own life and the voices (edit: choices) you made.
