It doesn't even occur to you that you might be the exception rather than the rule, does it?
What is the divorce rate in OZ? In Europe and the US it is generally > 50%. That is pretty telling in and of itself; however, RGA also makes a fairly valid point that as many as half of the others are staying together for other reasons and not because they have a happy marriage.
You should consider yourself lucky if you have a happy one...good for you!
Now, as to why he might lose his gear...revenge is often a motivation in divorce proceedings. If the marriage is ending badly then the wife, who generally has the advantage at least in US courts, might take the stuff just to make the guy feel bad. Maybe it is hard for you to understand how people can turn nasty to each other but they surely can and do quite often.
It would be a pity for him...but we don't know WHY they are getting divorced.
