I’m actually trying to keep micro-divorce from happening, thanks. I’m offering micro support to my married pals in the hopes they work out their tiny problems. 💪 😤

If there’s anything the couples in our lives kinda need, we should all be willing to sort of be there.

is a micro-divorce what happens when each couple only does their own laundry?

johnperich.com•20 days ago

It certainly can be! Meaning is optional; discourse is mandatory.

Klay Thompson leaving the Warriors was a micro-divorce of a championship core.

this is perfect; crossover into the sports vertical gives the term real staying power.

Gotta make sure it's widespread so adoption is too! Obviously the Democrats micro-divorced Joe Biden when they selected Kamala to run in 2024 btw.

I heard there's a micro-divorce wave. This really should be covered.

micro-divorce is when you get divorced but you don’t break up the band yet, like ABBA

if that's the case, is a macro-divorce what you call a Fleetwood Mac situation?

Micro-divorce is when neither one of you can afford to move out.

oh wow, I know a few couples in this scenario and now my joke post is making me sad. :(

My bet is fashion related. Wooden teeth to go with the monocles from a couple of years back

tfw your micro-divorce drags out because you’re fighting over who gets the tiny house :(

"Micro-divorce" is a bit too unoriginal, considering "micro-cheating". Might I consider a bold mixture of social and business life with "quiet divorcing"?

let's get the term anchored into the discourse before we start the meta-analysis. Meaning is optional; discourse is mandatory.
