Why women file for divorce more than men

In the US specifically, where no-fault divorce is legal in all 50 sates, some estimates put the figure at 70%; this rises to a staggering 90% when women are college educated.

Thought this was interesting.

Probably because they know how to do their own laundry and men don’t.

Maybe it’s something as simple as women attract men like moths and they know it, while men most of the time has to take initiative and put in work to find someone new.

From experiences I have with people I know it seems women don’t stay single for long, while for men it can take longer time.

I don’t know…just a guess.

I can see why you’d get married if you wanted kids. But getting married when you didn’t want kids seems unnecessary to me, in this day and age.

I think if you like a person enough and wanted to show how much you loved each other and how much you are committed to each other, taking vows is a good idea and is supposed to strengthen a relationship (i say supposed to)

But some people change and circumstances change which can through a spanner in the works, I kinda think of the vows as sacrosanct though its supposed to be set in stone,

I’m not judging anyone but I feel if you are going to make life long vows ‘for better or worse’ in ‘sickness and in health’ you should try your best to stick to them.

To me marriage is for life. I take my vows very seriously.

But, other people can do as they please. It isn’t my place to judge.
