I'm not saying that I think divorce is; however, in the world of fairy tales, divorce was a shameful/dishonorable thing. Otherwise, why did Regina not just divorce Leopold? And I really can't see Robin saying to Marian something along the lines of, "Baby, you've been gone a really long time (for me). I don't love ya anymore. So sad, but I gotta move on to the woman who almost executed ya." I truly fail to see the honor in something like that, even if more delicately worded. Moreover, it wouldn't be a loveless marriage. For he loved her once, and could do so again; in addition, it's not as if Marian ever stopped loving him. Not to mention they have a child together. Secondly, while Regina told David that he was married to Kathryn, I doubt that that was ever actually true, since they weren't married inthe  EF. It's not as if there was ever a wedding ceremony. Those false memories of being married were just that, false and no more real than Emma's false memories of her life with Henry that Regina gave to them as well. Thus, I doubt that they were ever legally married to begin with and can't possibly be legally married now. So, with that example somewhat foreclosed, I don't see any other examples of divorce.
