you are right just bek they filed does not mean it was a happy and good marriage. probably wasnt but she stands in most cases to gain financially by the divorce, maybe not her intention to get rich, but the lawyer takes it from there, when they are done the emotional damage will be irreversable to both parties. been there done that. its a poison machine that generates some money, mostly poison and legal fees--- some money. to be fair i know very few women that dont have some remorse about the divorce, but that does not stop them from doing the same thing later and often hubby #2 is a whole lot like hubby #1. its so easy just pick up the phone and dial 1 800 attorneys sleazy and breezy--- turn your malice into cash.

THE only initiative she takes ON A WHIM is to see her divorce attorney and it doesn't matter if she's right or wrong she normally get$ rewarded in one way or others.

Also, if your stat is true of Men cheating on their wives more......why is this happening?, I sure know why.

Do you, really? It's not as if you have relationships with women (according to you). You can't really know what's going on.

What about taking the initiative to be happier with her situation?

It reminds me of people who say they aren't happy with whatever town they live in--so they move, and find themselves no happier somewhere else. It's the inability to be satisfied with one's situation that is at fault then--and there are people like that, who are never truly satisfied with their situation.

If you can be content with where you are, THAT is the definition of success to me.

Had a father with a pretty big ego which is why it happens and my mother finally walked out after 23 years of it so it was no whim and they argued and discussed it- she took absolutely nothing except one piece of a parcel of land. She walked away from millions and never looked back. He is now with wife number 3.

Your situation, alone, does not a generalization make, as neither does mine. But I sense some hostility regarding women and this issue which biases you to on side.

you might be right it might not be about sex. but to say that neglect is a factor is not a wild accusation.
if you feed that dog he wont dig in the trash can. if you had treated him like that b4 marriage he would have dumped you so fast you would have gotten whiplash.

I need not have relationship experience, I received earful after earful after earful in person from many Men about the reasons why. The sad thing is it's "all in the same" reasons.

Kudos to your Mom but it doesn't dismiss the fact that females can ON A WHIM file for divorce because the system rewards them for good or bad behavior.

In essence it has me wondering if the phantom 50% are basically uninterested in a relationship they don't have total domination over. This theory is pretty novel.



From my observation, men AND women are going about fulfilling there sexual needs while at the same time pushing marriage to the back burner; with no shame. Also, parents today are not the same as parents 50 years ago. For example, if I was fooling around with a girl back in the 1950's I would most likely be approached by her father (with is rifle) or her brothers to marry the girl, but today, the fathers and brothers don't care as much partly because they are out chasing women on there own as well.


So basically, if a culture lost shame in specific acts, and there is no accountability, then I can see why the marriage rate would drop.
