    It's just easier to run away from the problem than to fix it. And people are lazy.

    Before people were the same, but society didn't endorse being single.

    And no - I do not say every divorce is like this. But most.

    Because it can happen for any reason. Usually you'd need to have reasons like abuse, cheating or some other violation of the contract but for the most part that's gone. You can initiate the divorce because you're bored if you want to.

    Plus the benefits of divorce don't go away and statistically speaking women are more likely to win those benefits so I think that plays a big role on why women are more likely to initiate it.

      @RandomDude212121 51 percent of adults aged 18 and older in the United States were married in 2010, compared with 72 percent in 1960... that's a 21% decline... over the span of 50 years. I don't know where you got 5X less but that is incorrect. You also have to take into account that before 1970 women weren't allowed to open a line of credit unless her husband cosigned. Marriage rates have dropped due to the increase in cohabitation and female financial independence.

      I don’t think it’s because they get tired of the other person. When you have intense passion for someone , it usually doesn’t tend to go away. I think it’s because this person had flaws they didn’t like during the beginning but learned to tolerate it through an extended period of time. Soon as the intensity of the passion fades as the years go by , the flaws end up appearing bigger and bigger and more problematic. This is when people start to fight and get unhappy

      @shaysh87: Its my point. Every relationship starts out fun and with passion. As time goes on the passion fades and people just start to get tired of each other B. S. over the years.

      In the beginning you happily tolerate or ignore their b. s but not as time go on.

      I see high standards being one of the biggest problems. Men used to bring home the money while women cared for the kids and home. Now a lot of men don't know what to do career wise and women become lazy so everything falls apart. A lot of people also have ridiculous standards now and can't bring anything to the table themselves

    Unrealistic expectations. It is when fantasy and reality collide.
