There's a reason why our divorce rate is 60%.
It should not be a matter of societal standing period. It should be a personal choice or a mutual agreement between involved parties. If somebody feels that they want to leave their partner because of whatever unsolvable reason*, they should be able to do so without being shunned.

Granted, I would not ever look favorably on couples with children divorcing just because they don't have kids, but I guess it's better sometimes than killing them. But I digressssssssss.

My point is that rules of society should not apply when it comes to the way your partner makes you feel.
