Why do mostly women want divorce?

Question

I don’t want to be monogamous either way but I don’t get that. Why sign up for it, and possibly mess up your kids future emotionally and financially to be isolated and alone if there was no affair or anything?

A couple of reasons.

-People changing. A lot of people will put their best attributes front and center to win someone's affections, then slacken off once they've succeeded, since it's exhausting to keep that up. This makes people wonder where the magic went, and things fizzle out. It's why I say you should always be true to yourself; it'll cost you in the short term, but if things DO work out for you, relationship-wise, you'll be able to sustain it forever.

-People not changing. Hormonal birth control works by tricking a woman's body into thinking it's already pregnant. MHC hijinks ensue, and it's fine- until she gets married and decides to start trying for a baby, and stops taking it. Once the change kicks in, her genes start telling her to HATE this man, and get the hell away from him as soon as she possibly can. It's not hard to guess where that can lead.

-Laws and social mores incentivizing divorce. The vast majority of the time, a woman stands to reap a substantial windfall in the case of a divorce, and very rarely does she stand to seriously lose out. Likewise, the cultural attitude of "if it's not always easy, then he's not the one" teaches women to make infantile romantic decisions, and ignore that great love is BUILT, not found. Relationships, as a result, are seen as ephemeral and capricious, to be lightly tossed aside when you tire of them.

-Women not being taken seriously in general. Traditionalists tell women to not worry about things, since they have a man to handle all the difficult questions and problems; Feminists tell women to not worry about things, since they have Feminism to handle all the difficult questions and problems. Our daughters are taught Cinderella, but not Antigone, and are consequently encouraged to see every bump in the road as an insurmountable obstacle. When you spend your whole life hearing that you're helpless and powerless will eventually make most people believe it.

The assumption that mostly women want divorce is not accurate and is a stereotype that perpetuates gender bias. While it is true that women file for divorce more often than men, the reasons for divorce are complex and cannot be attributed solely to gender.

There are many reasons why individuals seek divorce, including infidelity, financial issues, domestic abuse, communication breakdown, and irreconcilable differences. These issues can affect both men and women, and it is unfair to suggest that women are more likely to initiate divorce.

Also, societal expectations and gender roles can also impact marriage and divorce. Historically, women were expected to fulfill domestic duties and prioritize their husband's needs over their own. However, with the rise of women's rights and gender equality, women have more agency to pursue their own goals and desires, including the decision to seek divorce.

Women are often more likely to be the primary caretakers of children, which can make them more aware of issues within the marriage and more likely to seek divorce as a way to protect their children.

Women may face unique challenges within marriage, such as unequal distribution of household labor, limited career opportunities, and gender-based discrimination. These factors can contribute to feelings of dissatisfaction and may lead women to seek divorce.

Different reasons.

Some women are opportunists. They remarry for the green card. Some for the baby (they get married to have children not because they love the guy). I don't know. Go ask maybe that specific women if they will tell you.

If I fell for someone, I would try to make the relationship work. My parents did it and they are going on 47 years. That's rare these days. These days, when something goes wrong, they are ejecting with a parachute out of the plane it seems.

But yeah, these generations, it's like easy come easy go. Rarely is love involved it seems. But don't get me wrong. Dedication/commitment IS difficult. People get bored... not only with their jobs, and their routines but maybe the loves too? I don't really know. Like I said, try asking that specific person!

Sometimes people change after marriage. Their boyfriend could’ve been the best guy ever and then after marriage he stopped showing much effort towards the relationship, stopped showing her that he cares, and therefore she leaves because she’s not being treated the way that she should be. Or some guys can turn abusive after getting married. Mostly women will want the divorce because they’re the one being abused or neglected, and the man won’t see anything wrong with it and therefore he won’t want to divorce. Women aren’t the only ones who ever want divorce, but those are some reasons that I could think of as to why they would want it.

I do not know any people married that want a divorce. They struggle and may scream sometimes but really want to be heard emotionally. Not get a divorce.

Because most people wing their relationship. For if they set up a joint vision and worked toward realizing it daily and added to it over time they would be significantly less motivated to get a divorce. Most people don't change that much. It's not hard to avoid divorce assuming you picked the right mate in the first place. The setting up of a vision isn't the only thing you must do but there isn't a whole lot to it. It guarantees you both grow in the same direction and it focuses on the major things.  However it does require you know what you want most in life and out of the relationship.  If someone doesn't know what they want in life and in a relationship... You better be the most flexible mate in the universe because that is a huge warning sign. You can go anywhere if you dont know where you're going.

Think of it like this... you can take half of someone's shit and money and they keep moving? Enough said... it's my running theory on the answer to your question. Laws are in their corner and gives them the cash as prizes to be like that. Thus they do it more.

Marriage/Divorce is an amazing deal for women. She gets a huge transfer of resources to her, plus ongoing payments, the kids, the house, plus she gets to fuck whoever she wants again.

Marriage is like a hurricane there is a lot of blowing in the beginning & when it’s all said & done your house is gone.

HighValue · Answer

Because women are financially incentivized to divorce and steal assets the man earned. That is why women have NEVER done anything to change laws to make things fair for men.

Options. Or at least that is her perception. Some women past 30 think they're going to trade up and then reality hits. Thier value isn't the same anymore. 😆😆😆
