"Grew apart"
Is that code for "Bezos had an affair"
- paxys 8y agoIs it an affair if you are already separated?
- ceejayoz 8y agoIn some states, yes. https://info.legalzoom.com/can-married-men-legally-separated-date-committing-adultery-21168.html https://info.legalzoom.com/can-married-men-legally-separated... > In some states, adultery is a crime, although it is rarely prosecuted. In states that still recognize fault-based divorces, adultery has more of an impact. If a man begins dating during a legal separation in one of these states, and if his wife can prove that the relationship is sexual in nature, she can usually file for divorce on grounds of adultery. This can affect issues of property distribution and alimony. However, some states, such as North Carolina, make a legal distinction between dating during separation and dating while living together as man and wife.
- dpark 8y ago“Affair” is not a legal term in any US state so far as I’m aware.
- ceejayoz 8y agoAdultery is, though. Which an affair is likely to include, and this one apparently did.
- dpark 8y agoBezos lives in Washington. Adultery is not a crime in Washington nor is it recognized as relevant in divorce proceedings. i.e. Washington is a “no fault” state. Caveat: I’m not a lawyer.
- ceejayoz 8y agoHence, "in some states". It's entirely possible some form of pre/post-nuptial agreement exists, as well.
- bhnmmhmd 8y ago"We Were On A Break." Guess that's just excuse for doing what you want before officially ending things with your current wife/spouse/gf.
