Maybe they are more self-sufficient and don't have to stay in a bad/abusive/unfaithful marriage for financial reasons. Stay at home wives are more dependent and have less options.


According to the data I’ve found, women claim the those as reasons for initiating the divorce slightly less than 50% of the time.

How old are you? When is the last time you've been in the dating world?

Women with power currently have priorities of:
1. Validation
2. Entertainment
3. Love
4. Loyalty

Its all about keeping them happy, validated, and not letting them get bored

That's not sustainable if men continue to prioritize mainly love and loyalty as a whole.

If you are older think about how much the open relationship/ swinger group has expanded in the last 10-20 years. And its not primarily threesomes with women, its just wives/ gf getting railed by other people.

The women get their validation and entertainment while the men are allowed to have a twisted sense of "love". And because the women stay with that partner the men also get a twisted sense of "loyalty".

There's women that think men are audacious or pussies for wanting a relationship where they can't frick multiple dudes. Meanwhile if a guy goes to a girl and does that then they are a disgusting pig. If you think there aren't 10x more lose/ lose situations for guys now then you are blind.

Not letting other dudes frick your wife is now considered an insecurity. You realize how insanely twisted this shite is?


Imagine thinking this is the norm among 30-40 year olds.

Some of y'all REALLY need to re-evaluate the people in your social circles.

Which is really the main issue today. In past generations men were the only group that was primarily "economically viable" on their own and yet they chose families or to stay in their crappy marriage.

There's a big point in all this that people are avoiding. Men primarily had the control and decision making power in the past and a majority chose to stay and support their family even through the bullshite. Women do NOT have the same accountability and loyalty in modern society now that they have equal power.


Should we just ignore the fact that the divorce rate in the US was highest in 1980 and was on an upward climb between 1965 and 1980, and has dropped considerably in the last 45 years?

its been over 2 decades for me so i don't want to revisit but your story is eerily similar to mine.


Very similar situation as yours with the exception of putting our children in danger. The first year following our divorce, my ex wife didn't work. I agreed to pay her spousal maintenance for one year; she cashed out my 401 (k), but I kept 100% of my pension. I kept a spreadsheet documenting who had custody every single day for 15 months. The spreadsheet showed that the boys were in my possession 60% of the time even though she was primary custodian. With that documentation, and visual support in the courtroom from about 10 other mothers from the community, I was awarded custody. My ex wife only had her mother and sister behind her during the trial.

true story, my ex's mom and sister were on MY side throughout the ordeal

still good friends with them to this day.

eta she told her sister if i got custody she would do something terrible to the kids so her sister showed up at the hearing and told the judge.

We don’t have to ignore. Please give us your thoughts on why the divorce rate has stabilized

It hasn't, it's still on a downward trend.

The marriage rate has been on a steady decline since 1950 which is probably the primary reason why divorce rates have dropped. There are less people relying on marriage to survive so less get married which in turn means less bad marriages and divorce.

Women will have no purpose in life and will become obsolete since trannies can get prego and have butt babies.

All these details seem really specific.. have you been through this? Just curious because either (a) this happened to you and you’re speaking through experience, or (b) you’re just going off of what you read on the internet..

I’m just curious

Not that I want to really get into the weeds on this part but the data I found was that divorce rates peaked around 1980 like you said, declined during the 90’ and early 2000’s and have pretty much stabilized since around 2010

I think a big part is people marrying later in life and generally making better decision about their life partners. Obviously this is a good thing.

But it doesn’t change the fact that of the divorces that still occur are initiated by women by a pretty large clip.

I have no idea how accurate ChatGPT is. Maybe it’s all hogwash. Feel free to present your own data and conclusions.

Another piece of advice to young people: Date your significant other as long as you can before marrying. People have the ability to fool you for awhile, but their true personality traits will shine through if you give them enough time 3+ years minimum if you're not living together.


This is great advice. I dated my ex for over 3 years, and some pretty insane insecurities started to come out in the last 6 months or so. We also had differences in interests and political leanings. Marriage would've been a huge mistake. Thankfully we didn't live together, so it was a pretty clean break. It really worked out for the best and I am much better off. I started to feel like I "owed" her marriage because we had been together so long, but ultimately resisted because I knew it wouldn't be right. Don't give into any societal pressures (or pressures from her) just because it's the thing society says you should do. If there's something in your head that tells you it's not right, it's probably not.

If you’ve ever worked in a professional setting with women, 80 percent seems low.
I’ve never heard one of these women I work with say anything nice about their husbands. They complain non stop.

Mine were on my side but didn't sit on my side. I am still good friends with both sisters. One of them called me the other day to gripe about my ex's parental engagement.
