Wife demands Open Marriage or else divorce. Husband accepts for the kids. Wife starts sleeping with a guy lined up immediately. Husband finds someone to sleep with. Wife becomes furious, demands Closed Marriage.

If women initiate 70% of divorces how many of them are initiated because of other issues and how many of them were initiated because women are incapable of being reliable, loyal and devoted? You don't know. No one can know. I can, just as well, say that women initiate more divorces because men cheat more.

Women initiate more divorces because men are more likely to become alcoholics or become depressed and unproductive. Women initiate more divorces because men stop making an effort and let go more than women. Women initiate more divorces because men are more likely to not contribute to household chores and women don't have to rely on men for finances anymore, hence they can just leave when they're not being treated fairly.

Is it true? It surely is for some of them. How many of them?
Hence complexity. Hence generalizing 50% of the population because women are more unhappy in marriage and drawing conclusions to fit your narrative is useless. The only conclusion you can fairly draw is "women are more likely than man to want out of their marriage". The end.

Sorry, but women don't want "the government contract" more than men do. This is only in your bubble. The biggest survey I could find is from 2012 said that 83% of men and 84% of women believe "that having a successful marriage was “one of the most important things,” or “very important” in their lives". Men generally want to get married 3 years later than women though, so they might not want it at the same time, but they still want to get married.

A woman's security is fidelity and companionship and resources that she can very much acquire by herself in the 21st century. Women are human, not a different species with entirely different needs.

And no, that is exactly my point. There are exceptions, so your AWALT belief is already wrong. I agree that many people's feelings are maybe more superficial than they originally thought when they first got married etc. as I've said at least 3 times already, human beings are complex. Men are also just as capable of this and very often end up leaving their wives too. Cheating on your wife is the same as leaving her btw, you assume the risk of your marriage being over if you get caught.

I agree that modern divorce courts are harsher on men now, but have you considered that historically maybe it was too easy for men to "fall out of love" with their older wives and just "happen to fall in love" with a much younger woman, leaving their wives with nothing + kids when society made it very hard for women to own anything themselves in the first place? Doesn't sound very fair to me.

If I were a man and wanted to chase some other woman, I'd cheat rather than divorce nowadays, right? And if a woman finds out, she's more likely to divorce now than before since laws are more favorable and she doesn't depend on her husband. Could that maybe be a big contributing factor to that 70% of divorces asked for by women?

Not to discredit that another factor can be women just being more promiscuous/ dishonorable and more likely to afford to stray nowadays, too. I'm simply saying it's a very complex issue and you can't paint in with one brush and say "women suck cause they divorce men more".

So the fact that those exceptions exist, just as you have admitted is exactly why this conversation is meaningless. I believe that most men are horny and incapable of true loyalty too, just like my father cheated on my mum as soon as he became rich and my mum has always been a loyal and honorable woman. Doesn't mean exceptions don't exist and that I can't find a man who's loyal and special. Will this make me stop wanting to have a special life-long commitment to someone? No. It'll just make me be extremely careful who I pick.

I don't find your data convincing in the slightest. Women initiating more divorces means nothing. It's not as simple as you want it to be. Accurate data on faithfulness in marriage is impossible to obtain, you can't do a scientific study to know who cheated and who didn't.

If anything, most studies I wouldn't trust much because they are self-reported, but would in fact only help my point, point to men cheating more than women. So not sure how you want me to make you believe that women are just as capable as men, if not more if you want data, to stay faithful to their partners.
