Surviving divorce emotionally
Opinion: Like most couples, I can’t explain why my marriage ended in divorce
The government has announced that married couples will soon be allowed to divorce without having to prove fault or apportion blame. It’s an important step that will remove the legal requirement to rehash and document personal grievances at a time when people are already wrestling with a tsunami of emotions, shattered hopes and dreams, and feelings of loss and betrayal. For couples with children, it can only help the parents to move towards a relatively stable and peaceful truce. Currently, a partner who petitions for divorce has a choice of “adultery”, “unreasonable behaviour” and “desertion” as acceptable grounds for divorce, unless they can prove that that the two parties have already been separated for a number of years. I’ve been divorced myself. The very idea that amid the pain of separation one of you has to sit down and list exactly why you are splitting up, just to clear a legal hurdle, makes no sense at all. Nobody ever … [Read more...] about Opinion: Like most couples, I can’t explain why my marriage ended in divorce

How Man City goalie Bert Trautmann went from WW2 foe to football hero
With minutes to go in the FA Cup final the fearless goalie dived at the striker’s feet to make a wonder save. Keeper Bert Trautmann suffered a serious injury in the clash but played on to ensure his side’s victory. There was a noticeable crook in his neck when he collected his winner’s medal. An X-ray would later reveal he had broken his neck. Bert’s bravery elevated him to national hero status and won him a permanent place in football folklore. His courageous part in Manchester City ’s 3-1 win against Birmingham City at Wembley in 1956 would have been unthinkable just 11 years earlier. For back then Trautmann had been an enemy – a German prisoner of war in Britain. Yet he overcame ill-feelings against Germans to become a sporting legend in his adopted land. Now his remarkable life has been turned into the film The Keeper, already in cinemas. Bert is played by German actor David Kross, who shot to fame in 2008 opposite Kate … [Read more...] about How Man City goalie Bert Trautmann went from WW2 foe to football hero
