What’s shaking up long term relationships is women, often in their forties and fifties, make a decision to walk away from long-term marriages.
This morning, Sean Kelly and Mariam Serkal sit down with Dr Julie Gowthorpe, RSW to talk about the phenomenon of “walkaway wives”.

According to statistics, nearly a third of women who divorce in midlife report being happier than ever afterward. And 76 percent say they wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if another marriage didn’t work.
