If the courts didn't rule in favor of women most of the time men would initiate more divorces

Well I’m not sure I have the full answer. But if I had to guess it would be a combination of the 3 reasons I listed above. Personally I think society is having a tough time adjusting to a bunch of technological advances going back 60-70 years

1) The easy availability of birth control and abortion giving women almost complete control of their reproductive systems

2) The rise of internet porn which is extremely damaging to men in particular.

3) Social media giving people, particularly women imo, an unrealistic view of what real life in general and marriage in particular because of the specific topic at hand.

4) The rise of women in higher education and in the workplace.

Fair. I think those are all factors (particularly #3 and #4).

I think an additional factor is that women are more “economically viable” on their own and less likely to stay in a crap marriage than a couple generations before.

“Isn’t nursing the profession with the highest rate of cheating women?”

I can’t answer that since I don’t have experience with many women in other professions but I never knew many married nurses that cheated.I knew a good many that screwed married Drs.but they were mostly divorcees or their marriages were on the rocks.
The ones with good marriages wanted nothing to do with a Dr.

When Huey P Long was still open and had lots of med students and residents single nurses flocked there trying to catch a Dr. husband.Those young men were swimming in poon.

Most of the divorces in my friend groups are women filing for pretty understandable reasons


Most of the women I have seen who initiated divorce have done so for non understandable reasons. They may have friends who are divorced who tell them they deserve better and have an unreasonable level of self worth. They are told how pretty they are by their friends and they can do so much better. In the end, a lot of those women regret their decision and end up with no one. However, the ones that are truly hot usually do end up in a better position.

It isn’t meaningless. We know why women initiate it so often, they benefit greatly

Women are more likely to be economically damaged by divorce than men:

AI Overview

Divorce often has a significant negative financial impact on women, leading to a substantial decrease in income and living standards. Studies show women experience an average income drop of 20-41% after divorce, while men's incomes typically remain stable or even increase.

Most men have to work to find and keep a relationship.
Most women just have to allow it.

I agree with this 100% and I’ve seen it play out several times the past 5-10 years in friends lives.
He’ll it even happened to me .

I “deserve” better

fricking spare me.

I had a finance tell me last year after 20 yrs being broken up that was worse decision she ever made not marrying me.
My ex wife did all this crap
Too and told recently she wished she had opportunity to start over with me that I was always who I stood to be.

She was the problem
Not me and she admitted it after it was too late.

Sucks but that’s life , has consequences

Im not sure any one profession could be singled out.

I would think actor/actress bc you're away from your spouse so much and you're with attractive members of the opposite sex...

I think it really comes down to the individual.

Probably, but that’s such a small set of the population and so far removed from the average person that it’s pretty meaningless to put in the mixed.

It always comes down to the individual but certainly there are professions where more individuals choose infidelity over faithfulness than others.

In my divorce she filed abuse and 100 other bs claims with no actual evidence just to file. Called me crying ( I hadn’t read it yet) saying she’s sorry. Once I read the filing my lawyer told me in Mississippi you have to blame someone to file. Once both sides agree no actually goes before a judge to present evidence of the claim.

So what was the real reason she filed in your opinion?

My ex initiated the divorce after 13 years. She was remarried in a little over a year after running through a few guys in a flurry. She has since been married and divorced a total of 4 times.

I got remarried 10 years ago. Still with the same woman and it's a completely different experience.....complete opposite. Thank God she initiated because I would have fought till the end to keep the family intact.

I really think it comes down to unrealistic expectations combined with a misaligned value system in most cases. It becomes very easy to see when you see both lives in how they move on.

I can tell you from personal experience why. I'm not happy with my wife, and I haven't been, but I sure as frick am not filing for divorce because of what I will lose. The only way I'm filing for divorce is if my wife were to actually try and kill me and I felt that my life depended on getting divorced. In 9 years, when my kids are grown, that may be a different story.

You seem to be an expert on these three subjects. Alcohol, swinging and divorce.

I bet youre hiding a really cool personal story there Niles Crane.
