I have seen that meme used before as the specific reason that a friend will never get married
what its actually missing is the social media and television & movie constant bombardment to her that she 'deserves a....'
- more romantic husband
- husband who cleans the house & washes clothes when he gets off work just like the facebook videos she watches
- husband who fixes everything wrong w/ the house and keeps the outdoors manicured on the weekends
- husband who dances with her in the kitchen for tiktok videos like all her friends do
- husband who is perfect father to kids and always makes sure they are engaged and happy and does all their homework with them every night
- a husband who takes her to bora bora or italy once a month like all her friend's husbands do on instagram
- a husband who doesn't mind getting her a new car every year, rennovate the house constantly, buy a vacation home, let her get starbucks and her nails done every week and new clothes 'because all my friends have better wardrobes'
- a husband who is willing to move to Europe with her because all her facebook videos tell her the united states sucks and Spain is utopia!

I get what you are saying, and generally agree, but those kinds of stats are misleading.
If I beat the shite out of my wife and she files for divorce, she "initiated" it.
Working with couples I've seen my fair amount of scenarios where a husband has cheated but refuses to get divorced because he feels like the wife is obligated to forgive him since it was "just this one time" and he doesn't want to lose half his shite for fricking around. Forcing the woman to initiate.
On the flipside, it also wasn't uncommon to see marriages where there weren't anything traumatic (cheating, domestic violence, etc) but folks were unhappy/not a good match and it was typically the wife who initiated in those circumstances.

Women are going to be in a world of hurt when humanoid robots come online. If we have learned anything from video games and movies, they are going to be sexy

I’ve been married a while. Most of the time it’s good but it takes effort and sacrifice to stay together. Men and women have different needs and wants.

A woman marries a man, thinking he will change. A man marries a woman, thinking she won't change. They are both wrong.

According to the data…
Women cite infidelity as the primary reason for initiating a divorce at approximately a 15-30% clip. Combined with the 10-20% claiming physical abuse that’s still less than 50% of divorces initiated by women.

Hetero divorce rate - 48%
Gay men divorce rate - 28%
Lesbian divorce rate - 75%
Men aren’t the problem

I believe a lot of this has to do with birth control. Women medically alter their entire hormonal and mental profile from the time they are like 13. Then they get married and for the first time get off of it and realize “holy shite I have entirely different preferences than I thought I did”.

Women with some college or an associates degree initiate the divorce about 70% of the time.
they're "enlightened"
Or they can afford to leave.
Women tend not to "marry down" in terms of education and economic status. It makes sense that those with higher statuses would initiate divorce more often.

Don't they also disproportionately cheat as well? That makes sense.

Is the data in the room with us?
In all seriousness, I'd be curious to see the reporting of the data because if it's simply what is reported at the time of the divorce true No Fault states (and there are about 20 of them) won't have infidelity or DV listed as a reason because it's not required for divorce in those states (Kentucky is one of those). It's simply listed as ""irreconcilable differences".

According to my research no, men tend to cheat more often.
But the gap is closing. Among women 35 years and younger they have closed the gap and may have started to exceed men in the infidelity department.

One of my favorite graphics. Dude just wants to talk and have coffee.
The only thing they need to add is the woman getting a mommy makeover and new boobs.

I’m just using ChatGPT. I can ask it for the links if you really want me too.
quote:
1. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI): • Found that 21.6% of women said infidelity was the final straw that led to divorce.
2. Journal of Family Issues: • In one study, 34% of divorced women cited infidelity as a major cause of the breakup.
• Notably, women are more likely than men to cite their spouse’s infidelity as a reason for filing.
3. AARP Survey (older adults, 40+): • 22% of women cited infidelity by the husband as a key factor in divorce.

I mean, that would definitely be preferable if you're just AIing up some statistics.

“it is the men causing them to initiate it “
Might sound like a traitor to my gender but there’s a lot of truth in that statement.
I was a nurse so I worked with lots of women.They bitched about their husbands being addicted to video games or other pastimes,
never helping with the housework or with the kids.
One gorgeous nurse with 2 kids used to say she felt like she had 3 kids.She did all the house work and even mowed the grass because her husband spent all his time and money fishing or playing golf.(she filed for divorce).
She worked full time,mind you.
Another nurse got divorced because she got sick of her husbands football addiction.It was football from time pro pre season games started to the Super Bowl plus college games,was all weekend every weekend for months.(she was very good looking).
Surprising number of them had husbands addicted to video games.Sports gambling and losing money on it was starting to be a common complaint my last years.
I took it to heart and learned from them.I had my hobbies of hunting and fishing but I kept up the yard and helped with housework,washing clothes,etc.Also did most of shopping as she hated going to the store.
She made shopping lists,and I went and got it.
She never complained about me not doing my part.

I seriously doubt this is all on women. With women gaining the ability to achieve economic status, it has shed light on the large percentage of men who don't have much to offer.
