It is a false equivalency to deduced that women are therefore 70% to blame for divorce. Many men see nothing wrong with serial infidelity, porn abuse, alcoholism, spouse abuse or financial abuse, expect to remain married and receive its benefits, and are shocked when the wife has finally had enough and initiates a divorce.
It's not that women cannot engage in toxic behavior also; they do, including emotional abuse, and bad behavior by females appears to be trending higher these days. But Motherhood appears to blunt the opportunities or temptations somewhat in a way that fatherhood is less capable of doing.
Without a breakdown of "deal-breaker" behaviors by sex, the percentage of each sex that initiates divorce remains relatively meaningless.
Thank you.
>>>70% of divorces are initiated by women.

NO.....you misunderstand my point. My point is that MORE WOMEN than men are dissatisfied with marriage. Yes both sexes cheat on their spouses. But girls grow up into young women with unrealistic expectations of marriage. And thus they are MUCH MORE prone to become unhappy with the basics of life. My sources on this are years of of paying attention to men’s stories on the internet as well as years of observing what women write when they discuss their plight in dating and love. Here’s an article that gets rewritten by different women all the time: WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GONE? TRANSLATION: Where are all the guys who meet my expectations that want to marry me. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Never do I see these women ask themselves how to be MORE ATTRACTIVE to a man. Never do these women ask what do men want and how can I be better than my peers to land a man. NO....women are JUST FINE THE WAY THEY ARE when you ask them. Sure there are exceptions to the rule but that is the rule. If you want to see this proof I can give you two such women. One is Suzanne Venker. She’s a marriage coach and she puts her podcasts on youtube. She argues women have unrealistic expectations in marriage. Another woman is Bettina Arndt. She also has much content on YouTube. Bettina used to be a matchmaker for women until she gave up. She would find middle aged women a nice guy and they would blow off her matches because the men don’t tick off all the boxes. She was too frustrated because at that age, the women were vastly overestimating how desirable they were while simultaneously being very judgemental and derisive about good men.
As far as the rest of what you wrote about men being mean, seriously get a grip. Those men are typical in what universe? Most men want to please their wives. If a man doesn’t want to please his wife, it’s my opinion that THE WIFE HAS ALIENATED HER HUSBAND. How much criticism, nagging, disrespect and refusing to give her husband her body can a man take before he tunes her out? If a man has such a wife and doesn’t want to end the marriage, he will tolerate her and treat her like a roommate. He will stop treating her as a wife because she no longer acts like one.
And than you for posting this. It’s tiresome to have this hoary old factoid trotted out as evidence.
