That NYT article about 50/50 custody was basically trying to sell divorce. I wasn’t a fan.
Anon says
I’ve actually heard a lot of divorced women with decent, involved ex-husbands say the same thing. I don’t want to get a divorce because I like my husband, and I want to share holidays, birthdays, vacations and other life milestones as a family. But there is something about a 50-50 custody arrangement that’s kind of appealing. I know it’s not the same thing, but I feel so restored after solo trips and sometimes I do think about how easy life would be if every other weekend was a solo weekend. And it’s not just “yay me time.” I also feel like I would be more present and focused with my kid when I had time with her because of having all that restorative solo time.

I wouldn’t mind a few hours each week. But 50/50 sounds extremely unappealing to me.
