    My dudes really gonna shake up the couples meta with this whole "talk to your SO" thing

    Also, an aside on the commonly repeated "US divorce rate at 50%". People marrying, divorcing, and remarrying drive the average up, with the rate for first time marriages being closer to 30% IIRC. Divorcé Steve, who has split with 58,493 spouses, is an outlier and should not be counted.

    (Something similar occurs with misleading historical life expectancies—high infant mortality drags the average down, so while technically life expectancy in like 14th century France might have been 35 or whatever if you survived childhood you had a decent chance of living to 50s and 60s)
