VINTAGE YEAR DIVORCE
Is it a common term in English? If so,
1. What age group (e.g. 50-60)?
2. Are there other words similar to this?
Thank you.

Hi Itasan

A little bit similar might be the expression "the seven year itch", which theoretically occurs after seven years of marriage and sometimes leads to divorce.

Very interesting again.
We have a saying 'the third-year flirting',
of course in Japanese.
Thank you.

There is also the "midlife crisis", which often leads married men in their forties or fifties to divorce their (same-age) wives, buy red sports cars, and marry a "trophy wife" who is younger and more attractive...
