I'm not sure how you got abusive from inconvenient. I was mainly expressing that when hard times come, or you hit a rough patch in a relationship, people tend to just flake rather than put in the effort it takes to work through it.

Except they don't. The stats were linked in post #2 and show exactly the opposite of what you're suggesting: Divorces are relatively rare (~1.5% of marriages), the rate is declining overall, and the proportion of people getting divorces later in life (which doesn't necessarily mean after longer relationships, but there's a pretty strong correlation between age and marriage length) is increasing. If anything, people are now more likely to put in the effort to work through rough patches, instead of divorcing at the first sign of trouble.

I do like how I posted that, surprise, it's not the numbers anyone assumes or talks about.
But people just want to argue about something that could be true, instead of what's true.

Why argue and speculate about reality when you could argue and speculate about made-up figures nobody can agree upon instead?
