The Sunken Cost Fallacy applies to unhappy marriages. It is often a better monetary wager to "persist" despite obvious misery. But it's a terrible choice in the psychological cost. And... you only live once. The financial devastation of divorce in a period of economic uncertainty makes marriage a very poor long-term value proposition. You can't really protect yourself from a predatory divorce in any way that will withstand a legal challenge. Younger adults seeking independence should be very wary of "marriage". Love and relationship can exist in a healthier way outside of the sunken-cost fallacy. An economic union only makes sense if the terms of rupture are clear and fair. A romantic union only makes sense if there is love. To confuse these two types of union is a huge mistake.
