The stats for Belgium in the period 2003-2012, are:
10585 same-sex marriages (5669 between men, 4916 between women)
1226 divorces (517 between men, 709 between women)
Indeed, after 10 years the divorce rate is still far lower than for heterosexual marriages. It is interesting though that apparently women divorce more than men.
