“gay divorce rate is higher than heterosexual divorce rate” factoid is actually just statistical error. gay divorce rate is not higher. Elias and Peter, who get approximately 28 divorces a year, are outliers and should not have been counted

One of my favorite lil lonelyeyes takes is that I fully believe they get divorced via full legal process. Every. Single. Time. Every little scrap of paperwork meticulously filled out, every possible opportunity to scream at each other in a courtroom. Divorce attorneys simultaneously rich and traumatized. It’s chock full of misery and loneliness and the feeling of being judged. It’s the worst, most bureaucratic foreplay ever to exist. And I find it delightful.
