Where I live, if you're not divorced, you're not normal. There are literally more divorced and reconstituted families than there are traditional families.
I don't doubt that divorce rates IRL are high.
But it was my understanding that the "half of all marriages end in divorce" narrative gets skewed because the people that get divorced once have higher probability of getting divorced a second and third time, etc, which cumulatively get added to this figure.
IE. Four men get married. Three remain happily married, the fourth gets married and divorced thrice.
"50% of marriages end in divorce"
Honestly, might have been true in the 80s and maybe 90s.
But now ? At my work (we're a few hundreds), a minority haven't had a divorce.
On the scale of relativity, Mr Divorce is likely to still be much less happy than guys who are just remaining married regardless.
