I pinpointed a reason celeb marriages fail so much/rapidly. Everything is too easy for them. Moving should be a pain and should be a major process. That is why ordinary couples use it as the last step instead of a first step. I imagine his assistant/team facilitated everything and it’s probably no different than him being on location somewhere

That's exactly it, I have a friend who is finally divorcing after 3-4 years of wanting to. They never thought it could be saved, it was just a horrible time financially.

Yup. I also know of the situations where immediate separate living is required for basic safety but I’m not referencing those situations. Most breakups take time because of how much effort they necessitate which is why some couples can work through issues before the major (final) step that moving out typically is.

Yeah, I had to continue living with my ex for over a year because I simply couldn't afford moving out. Others here have shared how they're stuck in similar situations for multiple years. And even if you're fortunate enough to not have any safety concerns, it messes you up mentally. So the stakes are quite high to move together in the first place (let alone getting married) - not something you do on a whim like those weird celebs appear to do.

My old neighbors were like that. They lived together but had separate lives. They were more like roommates. They didn’t dislike each other but they weren’t really in love anymore. They didn’t want the hassle of a divorce and both loved the home they lived in, so they went and each did their own thing. They quietly dated other people, but never brought their dates to the home. From an outsiders perspective it looked odd, but it worked for them and they were happy.

I would imagine the "ease" would be mitigated by "shame," especially since they live so publicly. I wonder if it's more to do with... getting married so easily? Like do celebrities enjoy seeing their fans root for their love story that they would sooner marry someone so ill-matched outside of fame?
