NO.

For fuck's sake, media needs to stop that bullshit stat already. There is ZERO evidence whatsoever that this is even close to being true. Every time someone has tried to show me a stat to back this, it's "X number of couples got married in 2013, and Y number got divorced". What about the fifty fucking years' worth of other marriages that are still going on, buddy?

Sorry, had to rant. Divorce makes me angry because of how lightly it's treated these days, but to keep reporting that literally every other marriage ends in it is lazy, over-dramatic, and paints an incredibly unrealistic picture.
