The Divorce Issue

October 2024

A member-exclusive digital magazine unpacking the big ideas changing our present and shaping our future.

Sandi Falconer for Vox

Hello!

 

What does it mean for a divorced man to be “the most divorced”? What are we to make of the emergence of “divorcemoons” — getaways where people celebrate the end of their troubled marriage? And what of the rise of “gray divorce,” the dissolution of marriage after the age of 50? 

 

These are some of the questions our writers tackle in our member-exclusive October issue of The Highlight, our exploration of divorce and, specifically, its impact on our culture. 

 

Our writers come at it from some surprising angles. Rebecca Jennings takes a look at how “Divorce him, sis!” became Tiktok’s default relationship advice. Allie Volpe charts the rise of divorce among aging boomers and the challenges posed by such a momentous late-in-life decision. Alex Abad-Santos dives into the aesthetic of divorce and asks: Why do divorced men dress like that? Whizy Kim poses the question: Why don’t we celebrate the end of unhappy marriages like we do the start of happy ones? And Nicole Dieker offers a practical primer on what to know about money and getting divorced. 

 

We hope you enjoy the issue.
