So apparently half of all marriages end in divorce in the UK. And average divorce duration is 12 years into a marriage.
In my (large) extended family we have 2 divorces in around 50 marriages. I have one close friend who divorced a few years ago and one school mum out of all the school families we know which is about 180 kids though I don’t know if the current parents couples are ok second marriages etc.
I’ve known a few colleagues go through divorce over the years but just a small handful (appreciate not everyone talks about it).
I’m mid 40s so it’s not like I’m too young to go through the friend divorce cycle boom.
Are the stats wrong? Do I have a weird social circle? Are people having secret divorces?
