Divorce was looked down upon in the past, so more people stayed in unhappy marriages. What was the rate of this and can you tell me where you got your information?
Thanks.

Don't have annual divorce statistics in my head but I can tell
you about cheating history in the USA...
In 1955, 25% of women cheated and 50% of men cheated..
In 2005, 75% of women cheated and 50% of men cheated..
Birth control pills made a great difference in girls behavior...

There were as many unhappy marriages in the past as there are today. The difference is that in days past, people needed each other. We don't need each other as much as we once did.
