80 Percent of Divorces Are Filed By Women

A statistic I'm not really surprised to read about. What also didn't surprise me is how the author pretty much blames all the failed marriages on men.

You got that right. Nothing is ever a woman's fault. Ever.

Men look at porn and correctly think it's all fantasy. They don't look at their S.O. and think, "something's missing... she doesn't look and act like this porn actress".

Yet so many women still have that fairy tale/romantic comedy movie/romance novel view of the world.

Whenever I see these stats, I always ask myself.

"What percentage of divorces would women file if the law stated that whoever files for divorce does not get alimony, period , full stop"

Women file for divorce = husbands unable to make them happy; men file for divorce = immature husband unwilling to uphold responsibilities, women value marriage more and more willing to make sacrifices to make it work. Argument can be spun in so many ways.

80% divorce are filed by women because nothing changes for them. They still get kids and financial support as if marriage never ended. Imagine a divorce system where men's obligations are terminated, but wives still need to have sex and do chores whenever demanded by their ex, while having no rights to see kids. How many women would file then?

Maybe a huge chunk of married men are just as unhappy, if not even more so, but they are then hit with the reality that filing would make it a living hell, so they'd rather stay miserable?

This gout is suggesting that more supplication is the answer? That hasn't worked yet for anyone. These women are dumping their husbands because they have no sense of commitment.

Remember it was women who wanted "no fault divorce". They are the species that has all the needs and is taught from a very young age that marriage will get her a loving husband and solve all her problems. You often hear it explained as a "Every Woman's Dream."

But guess what. Nobody told the little boys this, and for a very good reason. Men are just not equipped or inclined to fulfil women's needs, except during the courting period. Then they are biological experts at it.

So a word of mansplaining to the women "If you aren't happy with your husband, or men in general, then please leave them alone". Why try and trap men into marriage, and then the unwanted responsibilities you want to heap on him when the first child comes along and you want a house, financial support, food, health care, education, savings, retirement, life insurance, etc.

In many cases women suck the life blood out of a man, and he walks through life like a zombie. Please leave them alone so they can go their own way. MGTOW

I don't have much against divorce. The aftermath is the problem. All the assets and kids go to the woman.

Perhaps they simply need us less than we need them. If that's so, I think the reason why is because society has made a better job of satisfying single women's needs than it has of satisfying single men's needs. Perhaps a vibrator effectively makes a better stand-in for a man than a fleshlight does for a woman. I think that's doubly the case when women are more likely to have wide social connections, so therefore don't need men for company as much. Remember, dick is abundant and low value.

Another aspect has surely got to be the post-breakup movement of resources tending to me from men, to women. If women are more likely to benefit from the payment of alimony, child support, and welfare, surely they are more materially incentivised to separate?

So basically husband's it's all your fault and you should become a mind reading prescient in order to make your wife's life as great as possible.

"To help us husbands do a better job keeping our wives happy."

Uh, how about women doing a better job of keeping their promises?

lowsodiummonkey · 2016-11-17T03:53:27+00:00

Every divorce I know by the cheating woman filed before the man as so they can save face to friends and family.

When I see stats like this, it's hard to know if 80% of men are shitty or if 80% of women are shitty.

rougecrayon · 2016-11-16T12:43:13+00:00

Firstly there is no source for this statistic. I found one that says about 69% are initiated by the wife.

There is a note at the bottom saying he doesn't blame men for failed marriages, but since he is a man his advice is for men to keep their women happy.

There is another post on that site he wrote about whose fault is it that clearly holds some blame for both people in the relationship.

I know in the case of a friend of mine,the husband cheated, the husband stopped trying, the husband left, and she is still the one initiating the divorce because he just won't.

The research shows that men overwhelmingly do not initiate divorce because they are more willing to settle unhappily than go through the motions of the breakup.

This is not a rights issue. It's just an unfortunate pattern.

Also watch statistics. 50% of marriages fail but this includes second third and fourth marriages. The divorce rate of first marriages (after the initial spike when women were finally allowed to leave for reasons other than physical abuse) have dropped quite a bit over the years - to only about 30%.
