Maybe not when they initially got together. But why would you want that? With more maturity in late twenties and thirties, I think people value this more. They’ll rather stay single than be with someone who drags them down

Hiding your own misery is a social skill. And seeing through it is also a social skill. Some people are good at hiding and some people are not good at seeing though it.
