Vengeance Plastic Surgery
Another article in the same Sunday Times as the hair article, also says that the biggest growth area in plastic surgery in the United States is post-divorce.
C would have understood that, although she would never have agreed with plastic surgery. Many times, she would come home from court and tell with relish a tale about a client, who in the process of ditching an apalling spouse, had really improved themselves. And it wasn’t just the women, although it usually was! In one amazing case, where a lady was getting divorced after forty years of marriage to a violent man, she told C, she’d just spent twenty pounds on having her hair done and another twenty on a dress. Sums she would never have spent before. She had also just booked a cruise in the sun. This case was also interesting, in that the husband had had a previous marriage of forty years that had also ended in divorce. If we had pre-nuptial psychological testing, some would and should stay single all of their lives.
The Anonymous Widower 
If the husband had been married to this lady for 40 years, and then another lady for 40 years, he was either a centenarian or a bigamist.
That aside, I know quite a few women who have had plastic surgery at their husband’s expense after the husband has had an affair – along the lines of if the husband wants to be forgiven it will cost him a facelift or a boob job.
