many flags on the play here obviously but this is just one of several points in the piece where the ability to leave a marriage is framed as an obvious societal harm

The parents of adult children grew up in a culture of “compulsory kinship,” she says. Families were supposed to be forever. Even when there were problems, adult children were expected to stay.
This idea is now increasingly challenged by a notion Reczek calls “democratized kinship”— the idea that maintaining family ties depends on their quality. Reczek’s research found that people rely on accountability and growth, intentional connection, mutual respect and emotional safety to remain in a relationship.
“Think about how people started to think differently about marriage in the mid-20th century, that you could get out of it,” Reczek says. “That is getting pushed out into other family relationships now.”

...Is it? Every single thing in this screengrab makes it sound great! Weird case of "don't threaten me with a good time" if this is supposed to be scary.
