Best divorce album?

The wife and I are listening to Springsteen's "Tunnel of Love" lp and were wondering what other stellar albums of separation or divorce you can think of?

So far we have

Lenny Kravitz - Mama Said
Suzanne Vega - Songs of Red and Gray
Tears for Fears - Raoul and the Kings of Spain

Any other memorable lp's detailing and addressing the artist's relationship dissolution?

(fyi: my wife and I are doing fine)

I agree with the suggestion of Richard and Linda Thompson's "Shoot Out the Lights", but also take a listen to the post-split, follow-up release by just Richard - "Hand of Kindness."  Tracks like "Tear Stained Letter", "A Poisoned Heart and a Twisted Memory", and "How I Wanted To", among others put it all right out there.   (Richard Thompson has written plenty of sad relationship songs over the years, but his music has gotten me through plenty of ups and downs over the years.)  If you're unfamiliar with him, start exploring!!
