Just been reading an article about the subject.
Divorce: Women who walk (http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/family/11329451.html - broken link)
Statistics show it is much more likely for the wife
to file for divorce 70% to 30% for the husband.
Why is this ?
Adultery is split 50/50 between the sexes as a
reason to file for divorce,so I know its not that.
So what is it?
Are us Men just so bad at it?
Are a Woman's expectations are just to high?
Doe's anyone here have the answer,or
can some of you ladies give us men some
advice on how to make a marriage work.
Sounds like we need it.
The article gives the main reason for divorce: emotional distance.
This quote said it best:
One reality for men, Chethik discovered in his research, is that marriage is often good enough for them. "But women feel like, if it's not very good and growing and getting better, it's not good enough."
That says it all. It comes down to communication. And men and women communicate very, very differently.

That's interesting. Seems logical to me.
I think penty of men do want to file but They'll "get to it later".
Not greed on my part when I filed, I was just DONE!!! Done with his crap, done with him! I did not want to waste any more time being married to the ex so when the divorce was discussed, I filed. Never cried, gave him everything, only valuable I left with was our daughter, which he has had no contact with since. I filed ASAP (3 days after discussion) and have not ever looked back! No hate, no remorse, pure satisfaction that I stood up for myself and did what was right, against parents advice.
I'm generally speaking here. I know this is not true for ALL instances.
I think women suffer the most when a relationship goes bad. Men have ways of distancing themselves and separating themselves from a marriage that women don't seem to have. And, if you can do this, why give up a situation where you have someone to help out with household chores and cooking ... even do it all.
I don't see what's wrong with having reasonably high expectations. Maybe women have gotten stronger and less tolerant of situations that don't improve. We're no longer doormats. (that's not the same as being a hairy-legged feminist)
I'm sure it hurts to end a marriage, even for the woman who instigates it; but it's probably a result of years of chronic dissatisfaction.
Maybe it's because men are more needy and women are more independent. I know in my case, that's how it was.
