I wonder if the explanation is that they know hubby has booked a visit with a sex change surgeon.

Advise him to not move out of his home. It will always be there for the children to return to, and he may even get custody (and child support) as they may choose to stay there, at that age. Make sure he gets a shark lawyer. The family law system is absolutely tyrannical, but he has no choice.

“Of these...89% are women who have a bachelor’s degree of higher.”

College-educated women may be more likely to initiate a divorce because getting married in the first place has become almost exclusive to the college-educated these days. Shacking up with no prospects of marriage is now pretty much the norm among a lot of women and men who only have a high school education or less.

Without reading the article, it will probably state how it’s justified because the husbands are failing in some way or other.

I believe he is keeping the house. While he has a lawyer, he is still more hurt than angry. At this point he just wants her gone.

Remember this the next time some entitled carousel rider wails, "Where have all the good men gone?"

[grey_whiskers]

If it keeps the woman at home while allowing her to be “naughty” in some fantasy realm, it could even be a way to add some spice in a dull marriage.

...but according to teh Churchians, if a man looks at pr0n that is grounds for immediate divorce on the grounds of unfaithfulness.

Who was it again who bought all those copies of 50 Shades of Ghey?

For quite a while there was a wide discrepancy believed to exist on how calories affected men and women, until it was realized that women much more widely under-reported how much they ate.
<SNIP>
Studies have shown that women who are 25 pounds or more overweight, greatly outlive the men who point that fact out to them.

But she still had to hop from one lillypad to another. A golden parachute.

The manosphere refers to it as "branch swinging" i.e. a monkey will not let go of the branch it is holding on to until it has a grasp on another branch.

Hypergamy run amok.

All women make the mistake of thinking, that the man they can tempt or cajole into sleeping with them a time or three, they can then cajole into commitment or marriage.

Because tingles.

Then when the guy ghosts her, "all men are BAD!" and "where have all the good men gone?"

[rb22982]

Indeed

I guarentee I will never be cheated on by my wife.

That’s because I refuse to marry anyone.

Seen in the comments section elsewhere on the internet:

Q. What's bigamy?

A. One wife too many.

Q. OK, what's monogamy?

A. The same thing...

Seriously, laundry is womens’ work.

I have a very good LT disability policy through work, I have several million in life insurance (plus a good chunk of dough saved) and I’ve gone over the basics of how to (come close to) maintain her lifestyle in the event of my death with her (~$100k/year, with no mortgage, forever, indexed to inflation), her parents and our financial adviser, who is a very close friend of mine since middle school. No plan is ever fool-proof but I’ve done what I can.

Beware of:

In my state, she could divorce me and get the same thing ~(~$100k/life in alimony, maybe less if they didn't count my stock comp and bonus, which is more volatile) since SC is one of the few states that has permanent alimony.

Besides, if she really wanted to clean up, she could just wait till just before retirement (10-12 years from now or mid/upper 40s), leave, take half the assets (hoping around $4m at that point), and force me to pay alimony forever even though I was on the verge of retirement!

Not terribly worried about it. We live a good life, both in good shape, and I make > 8x more now than when we got married. If she takes me to the cleaners, I'll still be living more than OK but not expecting that.
