Facts. 70-80% of the time it's the woman leaving

Yeah, but it’s also a fact that the woman is almost always the first one who tries to initiate marriage counseling, marriage retreats, or even brings up the fact that the marriage is in a bad place to begin with.

Women are more likely to try to fix the marriage before they leave. Men are more likely to try to tough it out and stay in unsatisfying marriage.

So I don’t think that stat is really indicative of what a lot of people think.
