You'll never do worse than when you were single since you can always file seperately.

Maybe there's something I don't understand, but per this table it's slightly worse to be married filing separately than it is to be single at the top brackets: https://www.bankrate.com/taxes/tax-brackets/

edit: changed "much" to "slightly"

I have not looked at filing separately for many years, but I ran the numbers back then and the result was the same.
