I too have had friends who, although the personal level of the divorce was mutually agreeable, the legal aspects were not so clean. These people, however, are still friends. Even though the courts considered them still married, they considered themselves single from the time of their decision. My basic point that it is possible to have marrieges with cleaner break-ups than some re- lationships not involving marriage. Perhaps I should have made the quali- fication, "The courts permitting".
