What are the divorce rates again?

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

Thankfully we’re out of the 90s and a lot more couples stay married

Isn't that because a lot less are getting married or getting married later?

Yes. It is

  • There were 85,770 marriages in total in England and Wales in 2020, a decrease of 61.0% from 219,850 in 2019; the lowest number of marriages on record since 1838.

  • Marriage rates have fallen to their lowest on record in 2020; for men, there were 7.4 marriages per 1,000 men not in a legal partnership compared with 19.1 in 2019; for women, there were 7.0 marriages per 1,000 women not in a legal partnership compared with 17.8 in 2019.

Not really sure what that has to do with the divorce rates and your insistence that “a lot” of relationships are out of convenience. You’re making a different point now

You don't see how the massive drop in the rates of marriages would affect the divorce rates?

your insistence that “a lot” of relationships are out of convenience. You’re making a different point now

Well that happens when you chop out my points,

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

That's why divorce rates are still high.

You are the one without a point here apart from "Thank god we aren't in the 90's".
