re: The NYT wrote a story on Gen Z Divorces. Here is an excerpt that explains it wonderfully.

Gen z has to have 3 people in every relationship to afford rent because boomers own all the houses

Who could have guessed her marriage would not end with a death in 60 years?

I don't understand a goddam thing in those two paragraphs.


The violinist was in a "lavender marriage", which is when people of two different genders (male/female) get married but at least one of them is gay. So she is gay and her husband was not. But it sounds like they also had an open marriage, hence the "mistress" for the husband. And it was just a domestic partnership but not a legal marriage (so unsure of why it needed to be a divorce).

She is leaving him but is apparently cozy with his mistress so they celebrated together afterward?

That's the best I can do.

This story will relate and be read by .0001% of the population. The rest of us will just look at it like Clint Eastwood looked at Koreans.

I'll need remedial English to decipher this.

All I got out of it was some fiddle playing chic is divorcing someone.

Is this a throuple?

I mean, if nothing else, this at least sounds vastly more cordial than most divorces I see

10 years ago this would have been absolute gibberish. Today it is accepted vernacular capable of being published in the failing NYT

If you hold traditional family values and don't think this is strong and brave then you're a far right radical.

Before the breakup, Mx. Benson, 27, who uses the pronoun they, checked in with their therapist, who said a divorce would be a "good choice." Out of queer solidarity, they informed their husband's "mistress" — this was kosher in Mx. Benson's arrangement, which was not a legal marriage, but a domestic partnership — about their shared partner's troubling behavior.
Seems like only the underlined forms of they are for sure being used for only one person which again doubles the confusion of trying to read anything pandering to the “theys”.

Going back to the beginning of “they” for one confused person it was supposed to be temporary for a small amount of alphabets while a non-gender singular 3rd person pronoun form was decided on as most trans at the time wanted to use he or she based on identity choice with non-binary being much rarer, but true to alphabet’s narcissistic nature the attention received by being able to be outraged and becoming a victim when people wouldn’t or couldn’t adapt to using “they” forms for a single person pushed more alphabets to start using it to also get extra attention. In the ensuing race towards narcissistic victimhood mentality “they” became standard usage for most.

Does “Mx” mean person identifies as mexican??? And why use the term divorce when relationship “was not a legal marriage, but a domestic partnership”???
