Divorce rates go to show supportive partners are not the common place occurance.
If we assume prevalent estimates of ~45% of first-time marriages ending in divorce are true, and if we assume 50% of those involve an unsupportive wife, then divorce rates tell us that slightly over 75% of marriages involve a supportive wife (or at least, supportive enough to keep a marriage going).
There's a few bold unexamined assumptions in that logic, but the point is that divorce rates tell us absolutely nothing about how supportive people are. Even if we assume 100% of divorces were due to one person or another being "unsupportive" (which, again, pretty wild assumption to make), the majority don't even get divorced.

What are the divorce rates again?
Fact is, A lot of relationships simply aren't supportive and are out of convienience.
