Your marriage ended in divorce, therefore the relationship was a failure. Is this fallacious reasoning? If so what is the fallacy? |

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.
This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

It appears that the person who wrote/said this, is not differentiating between "marriage" and a "relationship," which is fallacious. "Marriage" is a subset of "relationship" whereas all marriages are relationships but not all relationships are marriages. This would be like saying Dogs bark too much, therefore animals are annoying.
Your marriage ended in divorce, therefore the marriage was a failure.
