Also the divorce rate is actually REALLY LOW. The reason it was so high for so long was the HUGE number of women getting out of shitty marriages when unilateral no-fault divorce started being adopted by various states through the late 70s and 80s.
Additionally, there are studies showing that even current divorce rates are lower among millennials and gen xers than boomers, so as the boomers age and die off that will impact the divorce rates.
If you need a divorce, you fuckin GET a divorce, if your partner is being abusive, do not try to stick it out - GET out.
