“And probably half of the 31% of those divorces that the men initiated was probably the result of the women being a total bitch until the men cry uncle and divorces her like she secretly wanted, but doesn’t want to be the initiator, and then puts on a act like “wow I never saw it coming” innocent act.”
Exactly. From my experience, when a man comes to me to take his case and file for divorce for him, he is usually down to his last nickel, battling substance abuse from the marriage, or is getting ready to check himself into a mental health facility.
I had a case where a woman had committed three verified instances of adultery and run up 125k in unsecured credit card debt behind the husband’s back.
She got half of everything, he had to pay half of the credit card, and she got alimony. The kicker, alimony is supposed to end once she remarried or cohabited. She did neither. She simply partied like a college freshman and had a kid out of wedlock.
Beware of marriage young men.
I can promise you that is not the case. A divorce generally equal a financial death sentence for the man.
Some people change over time. There's no marriage involved in this story, but had the voting age been one year lower, I would've voted for a Democrat for president. (I don't imagine that if I were married at that age, though, I would've threatened divorce over differences in how we voted.) I changed markedly enough over the next four years, and I've never happily voted for a Democrat for anything.
Not this Lysistrata crap again. Don’t let the door hit you. ..
And it's better that way, believe me.
If I were a man and my wife threatened to divorce me over a political vote, I’d counterthreat with shutting off her credit card accounts to Macys and Amazon and spending every penny in savings on a boat. Joint vacations? nope - off fishing with the buddies instead. Running off to Canada? fine, that hard-working attractive church-going widow waitress down at the diner working to put her kids thru college needs a good husband...Cowboy up, instead of acting like spinach-deficient Popeyes letting a woman Bluto control their vote. No wonder our country is in the crapper.
If that's the way the harridan feels, he should consider it a blessing that she's offering to self-extricate from his life.
My grandparents in Omaha always told the story of how their neighbors threatened to move to Canada if Truman got elected 1948. They supported Dewey and stated their strong “either/or” ultimatum. After the election they stayed in Omaha.
It’s a shared values thing.
Not in this house. If anything, I’m more to the right than Hubby. And he’s a three sigma outlier.
shoulda never let ‘em vote in the first place ...
The Eagles song “Already Gone” playing in my head.
Political disagreements are frivolous at best.
Frivolous grounds for divorce should result in zero alimony or property split and no child custody.
1.) Find out who your wife is voting for.
2.) Tell her youre voting for the same.
2a.) Lie, if necessary.
3) Vote for whomever you damn well please.
3a.) SHUT UP about this forever.
Better plan:
1) Tell your wife you are voting for Trump
2) If she freaks out, tell her too bad.
3) If she leaves, good riddance
4) Party down
Best plan:
1) apologize and swear to vote for Hillary, claim you have been stressed and you actually just need a hug.
2)vote for Trump
3) Hide and hoard money and assets
4) do the legal prep work for a divorce
5) Unleash divorce on some random day. Suddenly, without warning, like the “panzers through Poland” suddenly.
6) Feel zero guilt because she already told you she will divorce you for a trivial reason.
7) find her hottest friend and have fun.
8) dump friend, party down.
9) Do anything you want...
Dentists? Bah.
Mere technicians, just like engineers (me, for example) and everybody else who doesn’t have a degree in English, sociology, gender or race studies, or similar disciplines so necessary for building a civilized, just, and equal social structure led by the beneficent and kindly leaders who know better than we do what it is that we need.
And what they can take away for their own use.
If I were him, I'd say "Good Riddance" to the shrew.
Mrs WBill and I occasionally disagree on politics. It's of little importance, though. And, if I thought for one minute that she'd divorce me over something as foolish as politics, then I'd tell her to spare me the wait and just do it right now.
Back in the 70s-80s I seem to recall the same sort of statistic about Cosmo.
“I would imagine there are an equal number of men threateing to divorce their wives if the latter vote for Hillary Clinton.”
Men don’t normally do emotional blackmail like that. That’s chick behavior.
