Many people think they have it all figured out when it comes to divorce. The whole “50 percent of marriages end in divorce” statistic gets thrown around a lot. Everyone knows someone whose family was torn apart by it. But there’s so much more to know about ending marriages.<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

We gathered five things that may change your view about divorce. Check it out below:<\/p>\n

#1. 50 Percent of Divorcees Regret Ending Their Marriage
\nPerhaps this means there is hope after all? A survey<\/a> asked 2,000 UK men and women who are divorcees, or ended a relationship of at least five years, questions about their feelings over their breakups, and the answers were shocking. Half of them said they regret splitting ways, 54 percent had second thoughts, and 42 percent considered giving their relationship another try.<\/p>\n

#2. The More You Get Remarried, The More Likely You’ll Get Divorced
\nSome believe you should try and try again when it comes to love, but should the same thought process go into marriage? Statistically, the answer is no. According to Divorce Statistics,<\/a> the divorce rate for a first marriage is between 41 percent to 50 percent; second marriages have a divorce rate of 60 percent to 67 percent; and for third marriages, the divorce rate is between 73 percent to 74 percent.<\/p>\n

#3. Divorce Rates are the Highest in the South
\nSince the South is usually pegged as being more tied to tradition and religion, you wouldn’t think it would have that high of a divorce rate. However, according to the Census Bureau’s last report<\/a> comparing the country’s divorce rates, the South has the highest rate of divorce compared to other parts of the country (in 2009). Their rate of divorce was 10.2 per 1,000 men and 11.1 per 1,000 women. On the flip side, the Northeast had the lowest rate of divorce.<\/p>\n

#4. Only ONE U.S. President Has Been Divorced
\nIt’s kind of an unwritten rule that presidents have to appear to have a picture-perfect family. Because of that, only one U.S. President has been divorced, and that man was Ronald Reagan. In 1940, Reagan married actress Jane Wyman but later divorced in 1948. They had a daughter named Maureen and adopted a son named Michael together. He then remarried to an actress named Nancy Davis in 1952. They then had two children, Patricia and Ronald.<\/p>\n

#5. Couples With Longer Commutes Are More Likely To Divorce
\nYou might have never put these two things together, but if you commute at least 45 minutes one-way to work then your marriage is at risk, according to research<\/a> done by Erica Sandow of Umea University in Sweden. Sandow tracked millions of people from 1995 to 2005. Of those people, 14 percent of couples in which one or both people had to commute at least 45 minutes broke up. On the other hand, 10 percent of couples with smaller commutes broke up. Just another reason long commutes are ruining your life.<\/p>\n
