Women initiate divorces because men aren’t paying attention.
Men cheat more, commit more acts of violence, more likely to have substance abuse problems, or gamble or have porn addictions.
Not saying women don’t do those things too, just not anywhere near the same rates (yet).
The persons who wreck a marriage with the above behaviors almost never file because they just don’t care and can’t be bothered. The person who files is the one trying to hold shit together.
Women no longer have to stay married to dysfunctional men because they have economic options their grandmothers didn’t.
Men generally have never stayed married to dysfunctional women because they’ve always had options.
You are entitled to your opinion.
Where I come from and from my time, people believe in vows which are promises made by a couple during their wedding ceremony, symbolizing their commitment to each other.
I recognize that in a modern marriage it's all about "Happy wife, happy life". I think it's one-sided. And Tom Brady's marriage was a perfect example of that.

That's not the topic of this thread. Especially not Tom Brady who had his "****" together lol.
I'm not so sure about that.
I have personally seen a couple of marriages break up due to infidelity. In both cases, it was the woman who cheated.
One was a real shock: she came from a devout Christian family, her and her husband had been high school sweethearts, and she always acted like a very conservative, straight-laced lady. It turns out, she was a cheater (caught in the act). My friend left her immediately. At first, her family disowned her; her family and his were very close. After some time, they flipped and took their daughter's side (blood is thicker than water), and started lecturing him about how he needed to be a good Christian and forgive. He remarried, and has been with a good woman for decades now.
I also have a friend who worked for a private detective once. He told me that based on the cases he worked, women definitely cheat more than men.
Yeah, filing for divorce, breaking up the family, taking the kids away from their pa, and financially enslaving the man, and having a fling with the poolboy is a great way to "hold the family together."
