The sanctity of marriage is in a state of emergency. According to The Enrichment Journal, the divorce rate in America for first time marriages is 41 percent. While television seeks to successfully portray real life situations on the the screen, “bad” marriages have also translated to the media. The drama going on in your bedroom is what you can also see on your favorite entertainment station. Stacia L.

Here’s a list of matrimonial pairs who may’ve missed the mark.”

Then, come to find out, she terminated a pregnancy and never told him, after harassing his own child’s mother, brow-beating him, and trying to get him to sign away his parental rights.

The new season should open with a trip to divorce court.
