- toomuchtodo 2y ago~43% of first marriages fail, ~60% of second marriages, ~73% third marriages. Lots of people are emotionally unhealthy and barely equipped to adult, let alone have the grit, fortitude, and luck to make a partnership work for life. It is the hardest job you’ll ever have. The divorce rate is understandable considering the partnership expectations outcome mismatch in the aggregate. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/divorce-statistics/ https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/divorce/divorce-statist...

- WarOnPrivacy 2y agoMy goal was a lifelong marriage. My mentality constantly evolved toward that goal. However, my judgment was insufficient and I didn't properly recognize that sustaining the marriage was harming our kids. In an earlier time, the harm would have been much less. Kids (my generation & earlier) once had direct, relationship-level access to a number of caring, invested adults - related and not. My kids had the two of us 24/7 and that's about it. My wife and I had 10x the parenting demands (time) put upon us that my parents, grandparents-> adults through human history had.
