lili yes there are more divorces in teh west now but there were very few 200 years ago.
As a culture we have embraced the romantic ideal and I think a side effect of that is that people are more likely to move on in a relationship if it isn't fulfilling their immediate needs.
I think as we get more inclined to take religion with a pinch of salt the institution of marriage changes in its role. many believe it doesn't have one.
There is no social contract anymore like there was in previous times or in other cultures. Social contract is not a great expression i mean we no longer marry for the good of the family etc.
This means that there is no real barrier to leaving a marriage that isn't providing what you want from it.
No bad thing I feel. I firmly believe that we have one shot at life and then it is eternal nothingness so you better make sure you are enjoying yourself while you are here.
