Oddly enough, I tend to agree with you on this, Michael. Even in the most acrimonious relationships/marriages, after a reasonable period of time following parties going their separate ways, emotions settle and a certain degree of civility returns. This may not be readily seen but it occurs, if for no other reason that people's emotional investment wanes over time and they are able to look back upon the relationship and focus less on the bad and more on the good times.
With fraud this is not the case, at least not for the perpetrator. My ex-spouse left the marital home early in the morning one day, purportedly on his way to open our jointly-owned coffee shop. He never arrived; never returned to the home; never uttered a good bye; never spoke to me again; never called; never looked at me again - not even in court when we were required to sign the divorce decree. I have no idea why, as I was the "perfect" victim.
