"There is a great deal of false transcendence around divorce, especially among women, who frame it as the inevitable consequence of a series of oppressions dealt to them by their marriage partner. Never is divorce considered as the potentially avoidable outcome of a failure to communicate and heal. Yet we all want to heal; that is why Aphrodite, the goddess of healing, is also the goddess of love and marriage."

IIRC, Hera is the goddess of marriage, whereas Aphrodite is the goddess of lustful flings and trysts ("situationships" in today's GenZ lingo). Of course starting with the boomers, Aphrodite became the goddess of marriage. This is the generation that first made divorce cool. I could probably write a novel or two on the complete clown show that is boomer marriage.

That "false transcendence" wrt to divorce is another topic I could write a few textwalls on but that would veer way off topic relative to your OP.
