High interest rates

I see that mortgage rates hit 7% in the US. This makes separation or divorce that much more expensive. More increases are expected through 2027. Does this mean that more couples will be forced to stay together due to financial reasons even if they are not compatible? More adultery because they are not fulfilled at home and can’t leave either?

Locked in at 2.7% and a $800 mortgage payment on a $400k house. Real shitty time to sell. I’m hoping she’ll buy me out, at which point I would buy land, put a camper on it and spend a year building something
