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.
