"If you feel so miserable in this marriage, you owe it to yourself to get out", is what people advice you when you are suffering in a bad marriage. I wish the same sentiment was held towards people unhappy with their lifes, suffering in misery. I wouldn't really know how the earlier would be like but I'm sure it can't be worse than deciding to kill yourself. Atleast a marriage is a decision you got into voluntarily in most cases and hopefully in your adult years. Why shouldn't the same argument be made for wanting to leave a life you never chose and you had no say in the decision to join.

Maybe it should, but most non suicidal people don't see death as a solution to anything.
Yes but non suicidal people don't see death as a solution because, well, they are not suicidal, they haven't lived your life so they don't see things from your perspective. But when it comes to marriage people will tell you "no one knows your marriage as well as you, so you should decide if it's worth fighting for. Whatever you decide, you have my full support. No one deserves to suffer in a marriage not worth fighting for". I wish they had the same view when it comes to suicide. If you think about it, it's a similar logic. You just need to substitute a couple of words.
Divorce is actually more pro-choice though when you think about it. The more rigid pro-lifers probably have more in common with people who stick with bad marriages or, expect other people to because- that's what you do.
Yeah, i almost forgot the "divorce is a sin" group. I never thought suicide and divorce had so much in common.
