Well the old boomer trope of this was because back in the day divorce was frowned upon by polite society so marriages stayed together loveless and bitter. Today people thankfully can move on from shit like this.
I think fear of being alone still drives a lot of people to stay with partners they hate.
Yeah it does for sure, I just know like for example my parents failed marriage, they stayed together because it was "the right thing to do" which is just mental.
Me and my sister we relieved when my parents got divorced, those two DID NOT have a healthy relationship.
being alone fucking sucks shit
the social stigma is gone, but the economic calculus of needing two incomes has rarely been stronger, even for baseline stuff like housing and health insurance.
