Not keeping score
In the old days, people often had to tell a family court judge exactly what is wrong before a divorce would be granted, and the circumstances of the split would affect the division of assets to some degree, one would suppose. Hence the entertainment value of the courtroom show "Divorce Court". People arguing over phone bills on Judge Judy just doesn't do it for me. With today's no fault divorce laws, there is no good reason to keep track of every irksome thing. For instance, the judge would not want to hear about when we are sitting up reading in bed, Teresa's annoying habit of chuckling over "Life in These United States" or whatever, it kind of takes the edge of of the Dean Koontz novel I am reading. That's all right, I cut the last page out of the bodice-ripper she is reading.
