Why is that such a common thing? While there are certainly people in other generations who have bad marriages and go through bitter divorces, spouse hatred seems so much less common among other generations...

    HOT TAKE:

    Finding somebody you had the hots for, getting married to them, having kids and a household with them, was "following the rules."

    When it turns out that checking those boxes doesn't equal happiness and the marriage dissolves, all of a lifetime's worth of stuff has to be divided up, having to "start over" when you thought you were done with that part of your life, can leave one with a sense of unfairness at a situation where "I followed the rules, so why did I lose? I did what I was supposed to do, so why am I in this situation?"
