Do you think more men would divorce more if they received pretty much the same treatment a woman receives when she files?

Question

Statistics show women file for divorce more than men do , but if men didn’t get screwed over in courts , do you think divorces would be equivalent? I am still legally married , but my wife and I are no longer together , the only reason we didn’t file for divorce was because of financial reasons. Her and I are still live together just in separate rooms. She claims she isn’t after my money , which I know that’s a crock of shit because she is waiting until I sell my home , so she can get half the money. At this point I don’t really care about the money but i don’t want to get screwed over , if I wasn’t going to get screwed over , we would already be divorced officially. I honestly think it’s bullshit that women get favored more than us guys’ do , when she is the primary reason we are separated.

Don't forget they get social attention also! All those guy friends noticing she is single and looking fine for her age!

While men are looked at as used trash and dumped for a reason!

Takes a while to socially come back if ever. Most divorced guys move before dating cause girls where they are won't date them cause they are divorced and the girls side with the girls.

Sorry it's awful good luck. But a few girls have kinks for Daddy's and I know some boys have that fetish too. You bi?

Agree usually a man divorcing is giving more then 60 of his stuff away.

No. This truth is represented in divorce and child custody statistics from before “no fault divorce” and “the tender years” doctrine. This is at the heart of the feminist myth that men benefit more from marriage than women do. When they COULD ruin women’s lives for their own personal gain, they rarely did. I think it just demonstrates how much men value loyalty and commitment, and always have.

To me, that’s blatant cowardice and selfishness. You were able to marry her, but now that you don’t want her, you won’t even give her a divorce? You should have signed a prenuptial agreement or some other contract at the time of marriage, specifying who contributes what to the relationship (time and skills have value too). But now you’re still married while sleeping with other women. Pathetic.

It is total BS that men get screwed over in the courts. It rarely happens.

Not exactly, because men are not motivated by the same legal and financial incentives that motivate so many women to divorce their husbands today

You said women file for divorce more than men do. That's obviously true, but it's a gross understatement. Women don't just file for divorce more than men... they actually file 70% - 80% of divorces. Why? Because the honeymoon phase is over, they no longer feel the same excitement they did toward their husbands when they married, they have the children they wanted, their husbands likely now have the financial means to support them and their children, at least more so than when they got married, and they are financially incentivized by the gynocentric, anti-father US legal system that literally pays women to divorce their husbands and drives a wedge between fathers and their children.

On average, once a man gets married, he is far more likely to want to respect his wedding vows than women are.

Men aren't getting screwed over in courts. They just didn't like the consequences to their own actions or lack thereof.

If you don't want to share your money or equity then have an agreement drawn up. You can do this at any time. You're literally making it harder on yourself.

It depends who is making more money in the marriage, that’s usually where men get screwed over and if kids are involved it’s even worse with child support because even if you shared custody and had them equally the same amount of time you would still have to pay child support to the mother which makes no sense at all if you both support them equally. You probably made more money than her that’s why she is going to file eventually to get half but you’re lucky you don’t have kids because that’s where the guy really gets screwed over. 70% of women file for divorce and it’s mostly the man in the marriage was making money. The few times men file for divorce is when she is making more money than him and he probably found someone else just like women do. It’s all about money bottom line. I’m divorced 8 years now, she was cheating on me, divorced me and got married to him 2 weeks later to that guy

More and more men are avoiding marriage in the first place, for this and other reasons. The laws courts, and society have disincentivized men from getting married, and now a lot of women are upset about it, because now it is affecting them.

The laws won't get changed unless a lot of women support those changes, and that's starting to happen, but there's still a long way to go.

No. Men would lead in that category. I've encountered many men holding off on divorce for fear of losing all they had worked for.

You know the woman is in control of what she has her lawyer go for. This tells you a bit about them as well as the court system.

If there were no such thing as losing custody of kids, alimony, or community assets in a marriage, men would divorce WAY more often, but marry more often too. Suicide rates would plummet too though. And homelessness rates.

Most women end up worse off financially after a divorce than their husband's do so I highly doubt it. Women leave because they aren't getting anything from their marriages anymore

I’m sorry to hear about this. But honestly I think you need to go on a road trip and clear your mind. Think hard about all of this on both sides.

Nah not really, unlike women, men don't treat marriage like something you wipe your ass with and flush down the toilet.

ManInChains · Answer

No because men care more about love while women care more about money and status

It's hard to see it right now... but she's probably not lying to you. Shoot for fair and when the dust settles you'll be able to see things a little clearer.

Divorces initiated by men would probably increase a little bit but not much. But if women were not guaranteed a "lottery win" by filing, overall divorce rates would probably decrease if men were treated the same as women.

Nerdvana · Answer

Although that maybe the reason some of the time. Men mostly don't divorce, because who is going to be their maid or mommy to them.

ABC1x1x · Answer

Men would never get married. That's why they aren't right now. You'd have to be stupid to get married now.

JesseP1nk · Answer

They would not. Women are more sensitive to negative emotions
