  Bruh why would you wish something like that on someone

    Not a wish, just statistics. You have a higher chance of getting divorced than staying together.

      That is absolutely not true, it’s just made up pop statistics spread by misanthropes that misses the nuances of the data

      That statistic applies to all marriages and not to first marriages, also iirc it was only for a few years. Divorce rates have been on a generally downward trajectory for quite a while

        That makes sense. A lot of bad marriages were only held together by divorce being illegal and they all flew apart at once. Then things have slowed to a more natural base rate

        all marriages would include first marraiges, what you’re trying to say is that people who divorce, are more likely to divorce more than once, several times even. Which disproportionately pushes up the divorce rate.

        Now would be a good time to pull stats for first marriage divorce if there are any good ones.
