Yes it has. But regardless in a shifting of ideals, people are still the same. Men are going to seek ways to escape their marriages unless their wives willingly give them their space.
Why is this so gender biased? Have you completely ignored the women in this thread that complained their husbands/boyfriends are too clingy and won't give them space?

It can go either way. I like my time alone to recuperate from life.

I guess that's why most divorces are initiated by women...??
Few divorces are related to a partner not giving the other "space", as has been stated here numerous times. Why are you still pushing this agenda? Just because you may have experienced a lack of adequate "space" in a relationship doesn't mean it's a mass phenomenon. If you want to gripe about one of your own relationships gone bad, do so, but don't pretend that your problem is everyone else's, too.

As I eluded to in my OP, women are inundated with the message that if a man needs his space from you, he must not really love you. So, they end up divorcing the guy simply because he was being a regular man.

What have you witnessed, experienced, been lead to believe that makes you think all women are out to be possessive and not allow their men some space?
I don't know anyone like that. Every women I know is working full time, doing happy hours with coworkers, playing on sports leagues without their SO's, going out on girls nights, going to school, living on their own, the list goes on. Idk where they would find the time to be up their SO's ass constantly.
None of the female friends I have live with their boyfriends and none of them have intentions of marriage or moving in, because they enjoy living with female friends or solo at this point in their life.
How much more space can someone need than that?
I only see my boyfriend on Friday and Sat night and he lives 10 mins down the road. I work and am in grad school full time. We rarely speak during the week. He goes to happy hour with friends, goes to ball games, hangs out with family etc. He does whatever he wants Mon-Friday.

Yeah, that's it. So, why don't you tell us about your own relationship failure, instead of trying to hide behind the illusion of some nonexistent mass phenomenon? It would be a lot more honest.
See, this is what happens. WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!! WHY DO YOU NEED YOUR OWN SPACE? DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
Wait, what?
So if I say women want their space to all of a sudden I'm demanding attention?
You seem to think men are the only ones who want their space, women do to!
