Signal is “easy” onboarding, just install and follow a wizard. I still have trouble convincing people to just download the app and try which is the hurdle. Most who bother to try it end up liking it and sticking with it since it’s easy and familiar to SMS but nicer. The people who don’t want to bother just never mention it again, or make up some excuse “won’t run on my phone” (it’s an iPhone) to stop the conversation.

Even if it’s not misery per se, it’s an opportunity to find a current partner who holds more interest in shared hobbies (travel e.g.) or even find such a partner while traveling! Ending the current relationship now on a good (better?) note instead of letting it fester and breed resentment is worth a lot in my opinion. Part as friends or friendly if possible.
