Interesting answers. I think in general women in America are very selfish in comparison to other countries. Men are too, but women are initiating a lot more divorce than me. I also believe that other countries have stronger values in regards to marriage, love, and commitment. I’m half latino and no one on that side of my family has ever gotten a divorce.
than men*
Because they are smart enough to not waste their time with a toxic marriage
Marriage unity between two people but if u can't find the right partner to treat u well, don't blame society. Most western women disobey parents and partners anyway.
Because people are less likely to be treated worse by other from a trivial fact like this. They also live longer meaning they change more troughout life and are more likely to outgrow eachother. Lastly gals are a lot more free than their sisters in the east where traditionally it is a descision made by only the man, more or less doubling the chance.
Because other countries still still use mass social pressure via “tradition”.
Well in some of those places I'm pretty sure it's illegal and or highly frowned upon. Also Luxembourg is full of rich people so they marry sexy models models divorce take have the moneysss lol and in a lot of the low countries there isn't much choice once your married and have kids you can't up and leave cause of money
Well the thing about western countries is freedom in places like India it’s basically considered sin you divorce even if you don’t like each other. Im persian and know this. But also don’t forget the uk a lot of people lie flake ghost etc in india it doesn’t exist there’s a stigma of truth and honesty. In the UK it doesn’t happen really a lot of people are fake and not 100% with each other.
One of the significant factor is in countries like India people generally consult their parents before marriage
And both the faimlies meet talk
Co-ordinate and them they get married
So, its obvious that these countries have least divorce due to this high quality bonding between them and their families
The stigma of divorce is worse in other countries. Less women have the independence to make the choice to ever leave a marriage. Too many people rush into marriage in the west without considering how deeply they know their partner.
Because we are stupid. Marriage in other cultures has more to do with duty and family than individualistic needs.
Because over hear unfaithful wives are not stoned to death as they are in countries that practice mutt religion.
Here unfaithful wives are allowed a life. Ask their Lawyer.
Because family values in the west have declined. Most divorce in the west is due to money problems. There is a lot of consumerism in the west, many people spend too much money on their wedding day for example. They dont take into consideration financial pressures during marriage.
I think it's an error to assume that the best outcome of every marriage is never divorce. In Western countries women have the ability to get away from men who mistreat them. I think, as awful as divorce is, that's sometimes the best of bad options.
Cuz those countries made the mistake of letting women talk
Lol women are part of society not part of Male problem.
They can be both
In a lot of countries there a lot of pressure from society not to divorce so it’s often something that just isn’t done
Marriage and divorce serves the interest of women and women care only about themselves. They suffer no consequences when they get divorced. They can only gain from it.
There's also the religious response to take into account.
Western people don't take that as seriously or thinks divorce takes value away from a eprson.
I think divorce is a trend in western countries
I agree women movement have used too much leverage on men. To point now there are Express divorce courts.
I think they must put a update on facebook and instagram how they are happily divorced.
We have something called divorce parties now... in the UK._.
And its shameful how all the family and friends promote each other to divorce. Damaging children's lives over stupid things.
*I am not for domestic violence etc (disclaimer)*
Divorce isn't a bad thing it just means people weren't meant to be married and go on their separate lives. What I don't get it's why so high. Wow. 51% that means for every marriage there is 50\50 chance they are going to divorce living in western society.
Obviously they are doing it for stupid reason. 50 percent can't be due to domestic violence or sexual abuse.
There are other reasons like financial and affairs and am sure there are things like annoying mother in laws.
50 percent? Of people have those issues wow
You be surprised how little it takes to divorce as simple as I don't like her cooking or her sex. Lol
This is story in NJ 2013 she divorced for her man having small penis., lol njfamilylaw.foxrothschild.com/.../
Guy should have told her before hand.. just like that some women don't have a vaginal opening.
There is no compromise these days.
What's women vaginal have to do with money.
I compared it to the small penis
Oh. Not even close man has a lot options mouth, anal, re-constructing vagina. In hence boobs to become bigger. Man can't make penis bigger.
Man has options like oral sex and fingering. But dude should have told the woman first.
Women need penetration
Probably cuz shear survival doesn't depend so much on the family structure in the west. Also the westerners chase pleasure and have little tolerance for any hiccups in relationships. It has to do with the greater living standards and wealth.
What situations do you define as hiccup and when would you say it a dealbreaker?
@Amanda269 for me personally its: lie, have shitty morals, get obese and not living healthy.
For western culture i think they just get bored and chase pleasures like hedonists throwing their family in the trash
Yes. Also because in like Asia, middle east and africa divorce isn't always like socially acceptable
Because they don't stay with someone for religious reasons, as most other countries do, and women have more freedom to leave if they want to.
