I think the divorce rate is so high because people are fuckin selfish. Everything's gotta be their way. They wanna be right all the time, so their partner is always wrong. It becomes a battle to seee who the master of the house is, rather than work as a team to get through life.
I cant count how many of my younger aquaintences go through life bitching about how their partner did this or that. When I try to guide them to seeing the issue with their partners perspective, they don't wanna hear it.
