TRIGGERnometry · How Not To Ruin Your Marriage - World's Leading Divorce Expert - James Sexton · 22 Feb 2026 podcast

But I also think what's important is that's how many catastrophically fail, meaning that they divorce.

How many people stay together unhappy for the children, for religious reasons, because they don't want to give up half of their things, because there's pressure in their culture?

I mean, let's be conservative and say it's another 10%.

I would say it's probably closer to 20 or 30, but that's speculation.

There's no way to prove it.

But now we're talking about a technology that fails 60 to 70 to 80% of the time.

You could make an argument from a legal standpoint that that is a reckless act.

It's no longer negligent.

Negligence is a failure to perceive a substantial risk.

Recklessness is a conscious disregard for a substantial risk.

So there is a good argument to be made that marriage is not only negligent, it's in fact reckless.

That's a great way to parse the question.

I mean, my answer is not going to be a sexy answer.

Because I think we fall in love very quickly and we fall out of love the same way we go bankrupt, very slowly and then all at once.

And so I think the answer I would say is if you want your marriage to fall apart, stop paying attention.

Just stop paying attention to your marriage.

Just say, OK, I've got that now.

I'm married now.

I don't have to think about that anymore.

I can focus on all the other things in life.
