So divorce is the healthy way to end a chronically unhappy marriage, yes. But surely we would agree that a happy marriage is healthier. This is a bit like saying that a pneumonectomy is a healthy end to one’s relationship with one’s lung.

And yes, it is. This argument is silly, because there's _clear_ subtext that it's a healthy end to an unhealthy relationship.

It's of course not healthy to end a healthy relationship. But hey, water is wet.

If the lung is cancerous and treatment resistant, then that might be a reasonable option.
