I'll weigh in with my experience.

They're shocked. That's because about 70% of the time, it's the wife who files for divorce.

Not in my case. I filed first. Actually, I recall her squeezing my head in an angry hug to try to get me not to leave her, while I was playing Assassins Creed. So, no, I wasn't and am not shocked.

Technology takes precedence over their relationships.

She was playing around on her computer/phone than I was. And I'm in IT, I kinda have to use a computer/cell phone.

They stopped wining and dining after the "I do's".

We made it a rule to have a date night once a month, sometimes more often than that. Didn't stop her from being ungrateful.

A lack of work/life balance.

She forced me to talk to her during the day so she could birch about the kids, on top of the stress from work. Home and work life were fused.

A feeling that "my wife and I grew apart."

Hard to have similar interests when you are a Comp Sci major and your wife has trouble with math that involves the order of operations or letters.

A newfound appreciation of sex.

We had sex 2-3 times a week. I did all of the work.

They do boyish things with their money.

Yeah, paying off her debt and taking care of two kids that weren't mine is "boyish". I think in that year and a half, $100 was excess spending just for me.

A longing to hear they're attractive.

This I'll agree with. I was called "stupid" more than "sexy".

Difficulty expressing emotions.

At first, yeah. But then she made me more emotional so she could manipulate those emotions.

Lingering affection and gratitude.

Towards her? No. No affection or gratitude at all. The only thong I'm gracious for is finding TRP.

I'm sick and fucking tired of these articles and blogs, usually authored by women, telling men how relation-shit fails are all the man's fault. Save the advice, cunt. Did it ever occur to you that men maybe start ignoring their wives because after the words "I do", she becomes a frumpy mess who chops off her hair, and is only concerned with daytime TV, "play dates" with the kids, and chatting up her other married friends on her iphone?

Nothing like a divorce threat to put a husband on his best behavior. Once he shapes up, you can throw him a few bones, like letting him spend some of the money he earns.

Dalrock always has something interesting to say about this kind of divorce fantasy. See articles like Threatpoint and Lowering the Boom.

If it were possible to read a woman's mind, marriages could be prevented.

"The double standard of morality will survive in this world so long as the woman whose husband has been lured away is favoured with the sympathetic tears of other women, and a man whose wife has made off is laughed at." -- H.L. Mencken

7 pisses me off way too much. It's "boyish" to want to have awesome life experiences and enjoy the one shot you get to 110%. I mean, given that you all ready have your necessities covered and have a savings budget going.

What a load of pure BS. My ex left because I was beta as anything and let her hamster away her stupid ideals until it was too late.

The only thing I had in common with that list was number 1.

Lack of Work/Life Balance

"Fuck bitches. Make money." - C.G. Latore Wallace

They do boyish things with their money...A sports car. Skydiving lessons. Divorced men do it all!

Translation: Using his $ for his own shit and not buying her more things

That article should be titled - Husband Husbandry - How to manipulate your man to give you what you want without giving anything back!

You can tell by the web design that it's going to be bullshit. The only thing that would make it better is a "slideshow" format.

They got that one right, it's often said here that if you are going to marry then never stop gaming.
