Couldn’t you just go back in time and correct the stuff that wrecked the marriage in the first place? Or surely at least navigate to a more amicable divorce?
I mean, every single time travel story ever has contradictions like that. One of the most famous is “Back to the Future”, which when you think about the details of how time travel supposedly works, makes no sense at all.
That’s a good point actually, the divorce process is all high emotions and accusations in the heat of it, but doing it with a clear rational head that comes only with time would help with the regrets
Someone should invent a time machine service that transports your future self back in time to the divorce proceedings, whilst present you goes into stasis until the whole thing blows over

oh yeah, “just fix them” that’s easy.
I read it as correcting their own bad actions.
What if they weren’t the one who made bad actions other than misjudging their partner?
it takes two tango
And yet sometimes it only takes one jerk.
