Marriage was useful when women had to maintain their end of the contract. That died decades ago and now there is no actual incentive for marriage, guys get suckered in because they are stupid enough to believe modern women are looking for a partnership, not a paycheck.
That's really it. They have everything to gain from both being in the marriage and then ending it. There is literally no consequence to either for them, so they treat it as childishly as they can and run it entirely on emotion.
