Discussion

Maria Elisa Albanese (asker) Dec 11, 2011:
Thank you Paolo and Anne. :-)
Anne Pinaglia Dec 11, 2011:
"constructive" should not be added to the Italian version, as it refers specifically to a term in English in this case and wouldn't make sense in the Italian translation.
Maria Elisa Albanese (asker) Dec 11, 2011:
era quel CONSTRUCTIVE che mi lasciava perplessa. non tanto abandonment che è appunto abbandono. quindi va tutto insieme comunque o è un particolare caso di abbandono del tetto coniugale?

insoddisfazione coniugale/inesistente attività sessuale

Not a typo. It means they were not having sexual relations, which in NY state is grounds for divorce.
Peer comment(s):

agree Julieta D'Amico : Sono d'accordo con Anne perché, appunto, non si parla di "actual abandonment", ma "constructive", cioè, anche se non è stata lasciata la casa coniugale, la condotta della parte convenuta genera una insoddisfazione che in NY è base per un "fault divorce"
