3 More Common Myths About Divorce
There are many misbelief concerning divorce, in part because of changing times and in part because of a long-held reluctance to talk about it. As divorce becomes a more common part of society, however, these myths are being disproven.
Myth: Police officers are more likely to get divorced.
Truth: While some professions do boast higher divorce rates than others (e.g. bartending, massage therapists), police officers are not in the top 10 on that list.
Myth: Couples with autistic children have higher divorce rates.
Truth: While having an autistic child may be a marital stressor, it does not lead to more divorces. In fact, the difference in divorce rates between couples with autistic children and couples with non-autistic children are negligible.
Myth: The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world.
Truth: Russia beats the U.S. in terms of divorce by 1.6%. We rank #5 in the world for divorce.
