I also believe over 50% of the population is stupid and incompetent, so I have a skewed perspective

You could also say over 50% of people are in debt, upside down in their mortgages, spending beyond their means, stuck in careers they hate, etc... Doesn't mean it's smart or right.
Every time someone complains about their past marriage or their divorce, you can usually trace back to the point where they should have realized they shouldn't have married this person. ie. "she was a crazy bitch", "she won't let me go out with the guys". People go into marriage with expectations that their partners will somehow change after getting married. People also get stuck in these relationships that they don't end because it's easier to stay together, and then years down the road they decide to get married just because they've been living together for 5 years so why not.
