So if those two categories were forever banned and it never were to happen in relationship then wouldn't it erase stereotypes, negative attitude towards the opposite sex and everyone would get along fine?

Without those two pain killers, I'm positive sure there would less break-ups and divorce rates would decrease greatly.
I disagree.

I think most divorces happen due to personality clashes and unreasonable behaviour. Behaviour that just makes living with that person intolerable.

I think there are even more wives who complain about a lack of intimacy, being ignored, etc. Poor financial management is a big one, as is dependency on drugs and alcohol. The list goes on and on.
Exactly. It's things that build up until one thinks "life is too short" and one party offs and leaves.

Please! I've been in relationships with both physical/mental/verbal abuse, cheating, and incompatibility. There are still a lot of reasons for relationships to turn to crap, like when people hate your mother, or when people are just with you for your money or looks. yotta yotta yotta, you know what I mean, cheating & abuse aren't the only things that crumble a relationship.

But yes, I guess break up rates would drop a bit, but relationships would probably never be perfect even if you take away all of what I put above.
