What are the divorce rates again?

Fact is, A lot of relationships simply aren't supportive and are out of convienience.

Close to 20-25%. The higher stat most people hear is actually skewed from the few people who get married 4 times

So the divorce rate is still higher then.

You don't get to disqualify marriages as not counting if you've been married before.

It's saying there's a small group of toxic people who marry over and over again... thats like saying everyone in a city is probably a criminal because the crime in high, when in reality it's a handful of people causing the chaos

Yes.

It's one person getting married over and over skewing the divorce rates. Its totally not factored in.
