I know several people, both men and women, for whom divorce was the best of bad options. One friend's husband sank into alcoholism and became violent when drunk. She decided it was time to get a divorce while sitting in her car, wondering if it was safe to enter her own home, and realized she could no longer live like that. Another acquaintance discovered her husband, with whom she co-taught a Sunday school class, was a longtime user of prostitutes and visited several every week. A third friend's husband was a serial adulterer; when she found out, he offered a Newt Gingrich scenario--he was happy to stay married, but he would continue to have affairs and expected her cooperation. One man's wife developed a psychiatric issue right after they married where she became so jealous he could not even read magazines or watch television at home because his wife would accuse him of looking at pictures of women. That marriage lasted less than a year but produced a son, whom he had to gain custody of, because the mother was mentally ill and incapable of caring for him. My friend was his second wife--they've now been married for 35 years, so the problem wasn't him, except that he didn't pick up the problem signs before his first marriage.Canada2017 said:

Divorcing the mother of ones children..on the other hand... not the best .
Never assume that someone who is divorced didn't have good reasons.
