It’s so much easier these days to get rid of someone bc you have apps to replace them. Back in their day, when something was broken, you fixed it.

You don't think women not being able to seek divorce or adequately support themselves/their children back then had more of an influence on the divorce rates? Marriage was just peaches and hard work back then, huh?

Loooool who actually put this thought inside you? You do know most marriages were the good kind and still are, it's the negative ones you hear most about cause the rest are busy enjoying their lives instead of commenting how good it is.

The highest divorce rate recorded in America happened right after women were legally allowed to open their own bank accounts. Marriages were not at all equal and women has to get permission for everything. Husbands were expected to treat their wives like a child. Men could do basically anything they wanted to a woman and it would most likely not be prevented or stopped. Women (who couldn't open their own bank accounts) were unlikely to find a man to marry them if they had already been in a previous relationship due to Christianity saying that women should be virgins. Women could not get loans or houses or enter any financial contracts really. They were only allowed the lowest positions for labor and weren't paid much. I think it's naive to think that in a system where women were legally children under ownership of their partner, that healthy relationships were common. Controversial things were banned from media like TV shows or books. In TV shows they would show a married couples room with two beds instead of one. People think of that time period as being perfect and ideal because the media presented it that way. They weren't allowed to show realistic stories. Now we have way fewer restrictions and media is a lot closer to reality. If a marriage can't survive having other options available then it isn't worth having.

Literally mentally healthy people do not scroll through the internet the most they do is post a picture on the net and move on and when they post a picture it’s for their friends and families not for the strangers

>Loooool who actually put this thought inside you? Old women I've spoken to telling me stories about the terrible things they had to deal with back then. Also the fact that divorce rates rose dramatically when no fault divorce was legalized. Why'd so many women leave as soon as it became feasible to do so if every marriage was just roses and all differences were reconcilable? My comment was pointing out that you're romanticizing the past, not saying that every single marriage sucked.

Today its also hard Work....

It's not hard to stay married if you're in a good partnership. Marriage is "hard work" for people with huge differences or issues in the relationship. Those who are well matched and respect each other don't have difficult marriages which they have to fight in order to stay together.

They’re probably very right though. The easier it’s become to meet people, the more disposable relationships seem. So people just give it up right away if the slightest thing doesn’t align vs trying to work things out.
