Hi,
I learnt English in school, as it was our primary language for all subjects, and have been speaking it since I was 3 years old, now I'm 33.
My questions is that whenever I use the word 'divorce', that has occured between 2 people, I use from to indicate it.
This topic has come up because there are individuals saying the following is not grammatically correct:
"Adele says her new album will explain her divorce to her son"
They're saying the above indicates that Adele married her son and is now divorcing him.
But I don't see how it could be misconstrued that way.
Because I've always known that divorce always happens from someone.
I could be wrong. But could you explain to me why it is written this way? As in "Her Divorce from her husband" and not "Her Divorce to her husband"?
