Young people may not remember this, but us elder millennials and earlier generations never had parents get divorced. Just didn't happen before smartphones. Family life was perfect.

- jb1991 3y agoIn the United States, the 1980s was the decade with the highest divorce rates in the country’s history. In some states, the divorces even outnumbered the marriages!
- khuey 3y agoThat's the joke.
- kiernanmcgowan 3y agoDivorce was invented by the wedding industry in ‘96 to sell more weddings

- topkai22 3y agoI know you are joking, but the divorce rate is down massively since it’s plan in the 80s. The CDC shows the rate going from 4 per thousand in 2000 to 2.5 per thousand in 2021. A lot of that is driven by people never getting married in the first place, but I’m still surprised at how few divorced parents I encounter as an parent myself compared to even I was a kid. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/marriage-divorce/national-marriage-divorce-rates-00-21.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/marriage-divorce/national-...
