Yes. Douglas Giles PhD wrote an excellent piece recently about divorce, https://medium.com/@dgilesphilosopher/i-believe-in-divorce-599902099ba , that contained "A marriage commitment absolutely should not be broken on a whim, but if both people are unhappy, what is the point of continuing? Suffering is not noble, and staying in a bad situation to fulfill a social expectation is usually the wrong course of action, or non-action in this case. I believe in divorce because I believe in forgiveness and redemption. Every ending is also a beginning. I was married for three years. If we had stayed married, out of commitment to an abstract social ideal, we would have remained stuck, not just with each other, but stuck in a situation in which neither of us could grow as people."
