There are a variety of factors that may contribute to the higher rate of breakups and divorces initiated by women, particularly among college-educated individuals. One potential factor is that women have become more financially independent and have greater access to education and career opportunities, which may make them more likely to prioritize their own needs and aspirations in a relationship.

Additionally, societal norms and expectations around gender roles and expectations may play a role in women's decision to initiate breakups and divorces. Women may feel pressure to conform to traditional gender roles and expectations, such as being a caregiver or homemaker, which may conflict with their own goals and aspirations.

Another factor may be that women may be more likely to notice and address problems in a relationship, such as communication issues or emotional neglect, which may lead them to initiate a breakup or divorce in order to prioritize their own well-being.

It is important to recognize that every individual and relationship is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all explanation for why breakups and divorces may be initiated more frequently by women. It is important to approach any relationship with empathy, understanding, and open communication, and to prioritize your own well-being and values in any decision-making process.

I think a lot of women see marriage as not in their best interest, because of how skewed household work tends to be in marriages. I think communication about it is a simple solution, but in my experience women often choose passive aggression instead of actual communication, and typically prefer men to read their minds, or just know what to do. Contrary to popular belief, most women aren't very good communicators, and because divorce benefits most women, its a more appealing option than trying to work through the normal ups and downs of a relationship. That being said, by default its even less in men's best interest because most often, it is men than end up ruined financially as a result of the divorce. Women also tend to get custody of children even when they are not the better parent. so, I don't want to discourage men from marriage, but I will say it is more important than ever for you to tread carefully. In most cases, you have more to lose than women, and women have more incentive to file for divorce.

Because there are too many thirsty beta males giving these women attention, when they break up with you they probably have a thousand Instagram followers that are going to give them the attention they need. They're not going to get a real relationship out of this of course, but they get social validation, which these days they seem to value more. As far as divorce, it is definitely more valuable for women in the west, if I was a woman I would get divorced every year. You profit hugely. Anything else I think would be sort of sexist, do we work harder on relationships? I don't think we do. I think we probably cheat more if anything, but I don't have any data on that.

Because men have more to lose so it’s has to be really bad for a man to initiate it, women just are never happy and always looking for better and don’t lose much in divorce so it’s not as serious to them
