divorce story
Tale of uncoupling
A divorce story is a narrative centered on the dissolution of a marriage—told in fiction, memoir, film, or casual conversation.
The term often implies emotional weight and familiar beats: the growing apart, the breaking point, the aftermath.
Everyone who's been through one has a divorce story, and friends learn to brace themselves when someone begins telling theirs: She launched into her divorce story over drinks.
