Women are more likely to initiate divorce

Expectations for a spouse are much higher than they used to be.
For most of Western history, marriage had little equality. Wives bore the brunt of child care and housework, depended on their husbands for financial support and enjoyed little social autonomy while men openly had affairs.
Fast-forward to the age of rom-coms, Valentine’s Day and a $50 billion wedding industry. It’s all based on finding, marrying and keeping “The One.”
“Today Americans want not only a spouse who is reliable and reasonable, but also someone who is their best friend, and a great lover, and someone who pays the bills … but is also really fun,” said Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenfeld.
According to research that Rosenfeld presented at the American Sociological Association’s annual meeting last week, these heightened expectations can leave women feeling worse off in marriage than men. In a survey of 2,262 adults in heterosexual partnerships over the course of five years, Rosenfeld found that women initiate divorces 69 percent of the time.

Hence the real reason for the divorce rate. unrealistic expectations

All of these are fricking impossible to be at one time. Maybe at different times of a mans life but not all at once.

This Stanford sociologist sounds like he really researched the issue thoroughly

Spoiled arse bitches.
Parents today are being completely dishonest with their daughters when they tell them they deserve to have everything they want, and to never settle for less.

I read the link. 69%, that's pretty overwhelming.

I bet the "womens rights" movement has a huge part to play in this.

Then they discuss it with their friends who pay $1,500/month in child support.

Divorce is like Ebola. Once one couple on your block gets it it'll spread like wildfire. Women pass it along to other women.

IDK, but if I ever had a woman tell me she wanted one, I would help her pack her crap up and she could GTFO.
There are tons of 30-50 yo women out there looking for stable men.
