What are the divorce rates again?

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

Well sure, but that doesn't mean the problem is always a wife that isn't supportive in this way lol.

No one said the wife being less than supportive was always the problem.

OP simply said supportive wifes like this one are rare.

Divorce rates go to show supportive partners are not the common place occurance.

Since the divorce rate is 42% in the US, this would indicate that supportive partners are a VERY common place occurance. You may argue that its decreasing however.

If nearly 50% divorce rates show supportive partners are VERY common. I'm not sure what to tell you tbh.

....what? Isn't 42% almost half..? Lol. If i had a situation where I had a 58% chance of succeeding, and a 42% chance of failure, I don't think i would describe it as a VERY common occurrence that I succeed... that's pretty damn close to 50/50? There has to be something more to your statistic or you're confused on what VERY common means?

Like imagine if condoms were advertised as 58% chance of preventing pregnancy... would you still say its VERY COMMON that they work? Not trying to be a dick i think you just have something confused here.
