It’s “contagious”

Some people have the misguided notion that divorce is contagious. They can fear that, by spending time around someone whose marriage fell apart, their own marriage will become unstable. And it is true that hearing someone talk about everything that was wrong with their marriage will make others evaluate and shine a light on their own unions. But anyone who is in a strong and healthy marriage shouldn’t worry about that. So as for friends who disappear because they don’t want your ideas getting into their head, and fear that you’ll make them see the issues in their own marriage, well, that marriage might be in trouble either way.
