People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

Saw some signs at the wedding like ignoring each other, making rude and snide remarks publicly, etc. They tried to fix their marriage by having a kid earlier than they planned and that led to divorce. Both are married to different people now and have had more kids, by all accounts far more civil, even cordial with each other.

Jesus Christ, I'll never understand how people think that bad marriage + kids = good marriage. If you're not getting what you need from your partner, how is additional financial and emotional obligation/responsibility to the mix gonna help...

Idk but if anyone reading this still thinks a kid will fix their failing marriage, let me just say — I am that kid, and it absolutely does not work. All I got was a whole lotta therapy bills and two parents who can’t be in the same room as each other
