Parents need to stop staying in loveless marriages just because they have kids. Stop sacrificing your happiness just so your kids can grow up in a 2 parent household. It’s toxic for the kids to grow up watching a dysfunctional marriage because it warps their perception of what love actually is. I know they think they’re doing what’s best for everyone, but it’s really not.

I would love to see a more recent study on this. The last study I read was by a single mom who literally set out to prove that it was just as good. Unfortunately she found it wasn’t. Of course there are exceptions in both directions, but society has shifted so much I wonder if the same study was done today what the results would bring. Were the negative outcomes more the product of single parenting or the social stigma single parents face? Is it fine when shared custody works well? And if we are just looking at the outcomes related to relationship success is the op right? I really want modern data on this!
