Its disliked to maintain family system and not to retain abusive relationships. Even a sentence like ‘I don’t like my husband’ were sufficient reason for a lady to get divorced during prophet’s time.

Supporting Prophet Muhammad website - Islam Permits Woman to Ask for Divorce

          a woman came to prophet muhammad (saws)  to ask for a divorce from her husband. she told him that she did not  complain about any of his morals or  qualities but the only problem was  that she did not genuinely like him to the extent it was impossible to  continue living with him. the prophet (saws)  asked her: "do you return his garden (a gift marriage he offered to  her)?" she said: "yes." the prophet asked him to take his garden and  divorce her.

Yeah, divorce was common back then.. the sahaba used to divorce and remarry quite easily back in the times of the Prophet (PBUH).. they had quite pragmatic views on marriage and relationships..

Our culture has attached a lot of stigma to it when in reality if a person has an actual reason to divorce in Islam (eg they no longer love their partner or a marital right isn’t being fulfilled, let alone cheating or abuse) that is considered enough to terminate a marriage..

Being a ‘martyr’ and staying in a loveless marriage for the sake of God isn’t from Islam..
