Do the words, "Until now I love her and I am unable to forget her, her image is always in my mind, never leaving me. Everything around me reminds me of her memory. She has left me with a memory in everything that reminds me," said to the wife as a gesture of endearment, constitute a veiled reference to divorce, and does divorce occur thereby?
