5% were unhappy in their relationship soon after the baby was
born. just under a third of these then split up. of the majority who
stayed together, only 7% percent (of the 5 percent, so that’s 0.3 percent
of the total sample) were still unhappy by the time their child was
aged 11, whereas 68% said they were now happy (see figure above).
almost half of american families experience poverty after divorce,
long term effects of divorce on children,
from this article:
Unhappiness is, thankfully, much rarer than people imagine. It affects just one in 20 parents with newborns. Unhappiness is usually temporary. Staying unhappy is incredibly rare. Just one in every 400 parents in the entire study was unhappy at both time points, soon after their child was born and then again when their child was 11. Furthermore, we found that the small minority of married parents who suspect their relationship is on the brink have a similar breakup rate—just under 30 percent—as couples who do not think they are on the brink. That’s not the case for cohabiting parents with newborn children, who, regardless of how secure or insecure they are in their relationship, are more likely than married parents to split up during the next 10 years.what does that mean? divorce is overrated, an abnormal's new normal.
