Developer ConcernedApe has uploaded a beta version of Stardew Valley’s 1.1 update which includes a fair number of tweaks and new features, including the ability to call it quits with your significant other if you desire.
According to this patch notes forum thread, Stardew Valley's 1.1
Filing for divorce isn’t cheap, costing a whopping 50,000 gold. Once a divorce request has been made, the player is given a grace period to think it over, but if they haven’t changed their mind the following day, the divorce goes through and their spouse moves out. If the player had any children with their spouse, they retain full custody and the divorced spouse will still be around, leading to some potentially awkward situations if the player runs into them while wandering about.
Once the player meets the Witch NPC, they can pay her 30,000 gold to wipe their spouse’s memory, making it so that the spouse completely forgets about both their marriage to the player and the subsequent divorce. Once the memory wipe has been enacted, the player can even date and remarry their former spouse if they want. If the player wants to completely revert back to being a lone wolf farmer, they can also pay the Witch a sum of Prismatic Shards to turn any unwanted children into doves.
ConcernedApe hasn’t announced when they plan to release Stardew Valley's 1.1
