Tons of good answers in this thread. One thing I'll add: the fairly recent acknowledgement of alternative lifestyles means that there is probably a percentage of people in unhappy marriages who are queer / trans and closeted or don't even realize, and that's making them miserable. I would add people who are in other sexual / romantic minorities and those who simply did not want to be married or have children and did not consider other possibilities existed outside of the societal norms that existed at the time.
