Divorce statistics do not back up this claim. I believe women initiate divorce proceedings in around 70 to 80% of the cases.

Yeah, primarily because hubby is usually catting around on her. Just what you want, your housemate to bring a social disease home to you. Or worse, Aids. The other major cause of divorce is for financial reasons. This again drives the now single with children women into the arms of gov’t largesse. Now, don’t give me a bunch of stats that you drummed up from heaven knows where (proof please or your stats). I know too many single women and the stories of their marriages to not know what’s going on here. And it’s pretty much the same story over and over and over again. Husband cheats. Next tale of woe. Husband cheats. Next tale of woe. Husband cheats. Or financial failures and not sticking with it through good times and bad. Or, another reason, man leaves sick or crippled up wife, like Newt Gingrich did (wife had cancer) or John McCain did (wife was crippled in auto accident). She stuck with him while he was a POW and came home crippled himself. She was crippled and he dumped her for a young bond heiress to a fortune. How crass is that. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but the dumped man who did no wrong is a rare species in the scheme of things.
Most women believe they deserve someone better that their dolt husband. Hence the no-fault divorce.
I initiated the divorce in my case because my ex walked out and disappeared with the children. I got the kids back and he begged me to take him back. HAHAHA...funniest thing he ever said!
BTW...I was the primary support in our family, plus was attending school to make myself better, more employable.
