Then you choose to change and grow together just like you chose wedlock in the first place and made a commitment. To each their own of course. I'm just saying no amount of divorce rate is "healthy" and has lifelong repercussions on the family especially children. I am speaking from firsthand experience

I remember being so relieved when my parents finally separated.

People think they can hide a high-conflict relationship from their kids.

They're delusional. Divorce is bad - but high-conflict is worse. Not every difference can be bridged, and not every partner is even worth it.

I was also relieved as well, but it still doesnt take away from the fact that neither of them did enough to compromise on what I thought were simple things.
