It’s been four years, how’re the statistics?
I bet there’s less same sex divorces.
Wonder if it would be the same percentage if there was no adversity…

@northern haste  
Shadows of Evil reference?

@northern haste  
XD

@Joseph Raszagal  
Been doing that for over ten years, It does not help. And half the time they don’t even know what to say

@TexasUberAlles  

 
Beat me to it.
 
@Prometheus labs CEO  
Sounds like therapy might help, yo. Helped me a bunch after my first break-up.

@TexasUberAlles  
Surprisingly no one, I’m just naturally dead inside

@Prometheus labs CEO  
who hurt you

@Joseph Raszagal  
It’s along the lines of love being a stupid thing to try and pursue to begin with.  
It’s impossible for love to last for any extended period of time so why agree to a life long commitment that’s guaranteed to end in either divorce or a loveless marriage where the two people involved slowly grow to hate eachother with each passing day

It’s sad I know

You know, as the Princess of Love, that really would be a horrible pill to swallow.
 
The relief, Cadance, is that while divorce is a painful process, it’s often much healthier than staying in a loveless marriage simply because you think that you have to due to societal standards. With divorce, the two parties are then free to seek out new love. Heck, there are even divorced former spouses who become better friends than they ever were after severing their familial bond with each other (while rare, it does happen).

@PonyPon  
That is, somewhat, the point.

@moonlightaveger  
I don’t know how one begins to determine this.

It occurs to me that there is really no reason there would be less divorces in Equestria.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
…I was trying to be a little more general, but I’ll grant that’s one of the things that could happen.

@Scrounge  
Good point, before divorces became a thing angry house wives just killed there abusive husbands

Considering how the marriages in question could turn out otherwise, I think that even if you don’t like it, you’d have to admit it’d be the lesser of two evils.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
I’ve been happily married for over twenty years; mileage varies.

What do you expect, Love is just a useless emotion that obscures logic and practicality. luckily it dies, but by then it’s ruined your life.

@thps48  
I dunno, Foster’s got pretty heavy on occasion– Wilt’s backstory is pretty – it just doesn’t seem like there would be many opportunities for that sort of thing given how few adults there were in the show.

@TexasUberAlles  
Aye. Sesame Street and like programming can do it, but it’d be too heavy for shit like FiM or Foster’s or Fairly Odd Parents. :3

@Background Pony Number 17  
This isn’t really that kind of a show– important a storyline as it might be for Target Audience to see– but it could certainly make for an interesting fanfic if done well.

@Background Pony Number 17
 
A pretty mature premise

An episode I’d like to see but I’m pretty sure the writers wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole:
 
Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich have had enough of each other, and decide to split up. Diamond Tiara stars in an episode where she has to cope with the breakup of her parents’ marriage.

This is why love is dying

@Dirty Bit  
Good point. I’m not sure. In the episode the idea was that this sort of thing is wrong to begin with and wouldn’t work. Not really a way to provoke thought.
