they live of on emotions and excitement and such things but marriage is a monotonous thing that is full of responsibility and not enough rewarding.
They are encouraged to wreck their own homes by feminism, their hoe friends, and the media; they are incentivized to do so by the misandrist family court systems that reward them for destroying their families.
Because the motherfuckers have what is in demand and there are already other fish snapping at the hook. They know they can divorce/ leave and some other fish will fall into place. Take away their looks, tits and pussy and they would not be shit, maybe even a bounty on the motherfuckers.
They want something better once they are not being entertained anymore plus they have nothing to lose since they get the kids, child support, alimony and half the assets from the husband. If the woman makes more money and has more assets then they are less likely to initiate divorce
Judging by how biased divorce courts are in the US, and how a divorce can leave a man with literally nothing, I can understand why.
Just about all those factors are the main reasons for divorces initiated by either women or men.
Since when do you believe this? and WHY? Lol.
It’s a comment I see from guys all the time on here, so thought I’d address it.
@TenderFantasy It’s a real statistic that you can find, but women will try to justify why. Women initiate the vast majority of divorces, and I'll explain it in my answer.
@ManOnFire Well I don't believe it. People are people, it's not a gender thing. People always try to put others in boxes and categories. It's really stupid. There's no way you (or a "researcher") ask how many people have initiated a divorce or break up. 1. There's way too many people in this world to accurately concluded that. 2. They could be LYING about it. Anybody can lie. It's too easy to. 3. It can also be an ego thing.
@TenderFantasy You're not looking at it like this: divorces are recorded, and the numbers of divorces by women can be easily found from lawyers or court records/statistics. The numbers are still there even if we don't want to believe it.
@ManOnFire Women dont know how to separate stats from feelings
@Chthou95 Yes, an unfortunate truth, but I was trying to be nice about it.
@Chthou95 That's not true. Please stop generalize ALL women to be the same! Again! People just love to do that!
People LIE like I said all the time to make the other feel bad. Also, a divorce is a divorce. Regardless of who initiates it, both parties can still be affected. All MGTOW men, Red Pillers and Incel like to focus on is on how women have ruined their life because of a divorce especially financially, well obviously, if a person is actually SMART, they will realize that not everything is financial. There's also the EMOTIONAL toll and if children are involved then custody arraingments. It's not just the money for the divorce lawyer and the splitting of the assets, etc. It SUCKS having to be left or to break up with someone you cared a lot about! It's NEVER easy for EITHER party! Stop acting as if the other party is making bank with a divorce!
In general women use feelings over logic sweet heart. You're ironically doing it now. Thinking that everything needs to be individual based. Generalities are important because they're consistent patterns of human behavior and society. Society wouldn't be properly structured if we went based on individualism all the time. And by the way Lesbian marriage divorce rates are high. What would be the cause of those marriages collapsing?
@Chthou95 How was I being emotional just because I said I didn't believe it? Doesn't make sense. I also didn't say that generalities were nothing, I said take into account indidivual PEOPLE. You're just not being fair when you GENERELIZE. How would YOU like it if people Generalized you based on your race or how you looked, your age, or whatever else status? ! Wouldn't you be angry too? ! I know I would!
Bringing individualism into the mix like every other woman does is emotional because that's usually the response that's repeated. It would be valid because there's a consistent pattern among my race. I don't get mad about it. A stereotype and a generalization exist for a reason. They're not without merit
The answer is infidelity. On HER part.
I'm not saying that she cheated. I'm saying that she is NOT FAITHFUL to her husband!
She took a vow, but that vow meant NOTHING to her! She was FAKE all along!!
They marry for the benefits / stability or when it's out of love they ignore the red flags about their guy... and then later realize they're stuck with a person they don't like, and break it off..
Because women have higher standards, and if they aren’t with a tall, big dick hunk with a full head of hair who’s rich, charismatic, and in good physical condition, they will feel like they are settling.
Because maybe it is their way of taking power back from a relationship that benefits a man at her expense. Gender roles make it so easy for men and so hard for women. A woman has to do normal work plus housework. This is too much so they just give up
Women also have been socialised to not assert themselves so sometimes they put up with so much before they finally say enough
Check the statistics, most divorces are initiated by women and the reason is economic. Marriage is not for the average man.
Because no matter what it seems like it cost men more
Probably because they have just had enough or gotten some advice from parents or friends. But in some cases the reasons for divorce can be the fault of both involved.
Women aren’t giving truthful answers on here. A woman can be with an amazing husband/father but still knit pick things because he’s not making more money.
One guy said something so true, it's because she has someone already lined up. Women cheat more than men, girls cheat and fool around more than guys. The truth is, unless a guy is super good looking or has money but just an average joe he's not going to get the same attention as a female would. Women and girls will complain about males being dogs and not being loyal. Yeah ladies, don't fool yourself and give half assed answers on GAG, guys aren't stupid, we know y'all are getting hit up in your DMs. Girls and women enjoy being rambunctious and promiscuous. I see a lot of girls on GAG especially with these pro feminist extremist views and belittling men and guys because they feel so empowered to humiliate a guy because she assumes all guys are scum and sexist unless its a guy who tickles her loins and imagination. Young women these days aren't nurturing, they aren't caring, they aren't loyal. I know a female is going to read this and say look its another bitter simp virgin... Great come back ladies who think that. Nah, im merely stating the truth why you divorce more, its based on your emotions. But I know 20-30 years from now, a lot of females will regret their decisions and their past.
A lack of accountability and being finacially rewarded by divorce
One reason is the system favouring them in most cases, alimony, child support. They use the children as pawns to get as much as they can
Because women are not content and they are financially rewarded to break their vows.
Lack of appreciation for what someone has, lack of instant gratification, and lack of an attention span caused by social media.
Cuz the majority of the time it usually ends more favorably for women so they’re more incentivized to do so.
Because the courts are set up in the woman's favour.
Women know they can get a divorce, tell a few lies and end up with custody, child support, alimony, half of everything.
I don't ask
Just size the rock, weigh the gold and pay up
they are tires with putting up whit their spouses crap and attitudes.
My collegue at work divorced because she said her husband dosnt talk anymore with her and they have no common interests
“Divorce is caused by women who can’t handle their high value husbands having affairs within the marriage because the wife has gotten fat after having children.”
H. Pearl Davis (never married, marriage expert)
Women initiate because they have more to gain and less to lose. I would have been divorced 10 years ago if I got to keep the kids and house.
mostly the need for money as mine did got half now lives with me but now I make her pay for food
Because they get tired of men's bullshit while for men marriage is advantageous
Yes, ma'am, I just started following you and I'd like to invite you to follow me as well, if that's alright. Thank you very much.
"while for men marriage is advantageous" name me the advantage because I don't see it.
If that's the case, why are lesbian marriage divorce rates much higher than gay marriages?
I’ve only ever seen men lose everything in marriages. Where are the advantages?
And of course there is no response. Only an empty statement to close the topic.
Women are driven by their emotions and more willing to make important life decisions based on them.
Because women grow and men do not. They are easily satisfied and content. Women need and expect more as time goes on. Stats show the happiest men are married and the happiest women are single.
Lmao once men fully mature mentally, they completely surpass women
@bingbongbangbung errrrmmm no way. Do they become women themselves as depicted in your profile photo?
Why do women need and expect more over time? Is being satisfied and content not the healthiest most mature mindset to have?
@DarkWinterNights that doesn’t even make sense. Yes settling for what doesn’t satisfy,
stimulate, or support her emotionally is mature 🙄. God forbid women seek something beyond a man that makes her only feel “content”.
@Justagirl1122, Alright- well good luck finding someone who is always going to surpass your expectations. Personally that sounds exhausting.
@DarkWinterNights Thanks! This is relative to who a woman starts out with, mind you. Don’t feel so much pressure, I’m sure you will suit some woman just fine. 👍
Probably because a lot do them put their happiens before their family.
There’s always a reason. It roots from selfishness for most divorces while some are reasonable
They marry someone they barely know out of desperation
Lack of maturity and/or commitment of both parties.
Because the divorce favors them. Men don't have the luxury of being able to divorce easily without any consequences even if he's the victim.
Because she wants more. When she feels aje has control over a situation she cuts her man off and moves on.
If that’s true, might be…. just like stalkers are mostly men…. the boyfriend is more reluctant to leave.
My mom and dad nearly got a divorce because of my mom wanting more independence but she refused to say anything about it to my dad and had my dad thinking that there was someone else.
Lack of emotional support or selfishness or infidelity would be big ones for me personally
Because they have women's intuition and he was perfect until he wasn't and that's his fault.
I think it's all of the above but I also think women have to stop with the fairytale bullshit cause there is no perfect situation
It is completely infidelity and that kind of women should never be trusted
Because they're rewared for initiating a divorce. Which is why men shouldn't get married. Just have the woman as a girlfriend
Has nothing to do with shitty men like the women on this post say. Has to do with women standing to gain more from divorce.
All of the above, but it is not always a woman who initiates it. The reasons are equally applicable to men.
the spouse does not take care of each others emotional needs
They have the pussy. And then usually get the money.
Not sure. I think there’s a lot of factors to divorce and it can’t be put into a few categories.
Because women can find a man easier than a man can find another woman. If a woman will suck cock, take it in the ass, or get banged until her teeth are loose , there are guys lined up.
Because they win in divorce. The second they’re unhappy they know they can leave the man and take everything from him
Because men are the more replaceable ones and have less options so women are more likely to leave the relationship.
Infidelity and boredom are the Two main reasons, that I've run into.
Because women have become very self centered and have no sense of commitment anymore.
They get bored. Most should have never gotten married to begin with.
Yeah, it's always money. They burn more money then men do.
Another option is to take advantage of the court system since it rewards the wives more often than not.
Women want to prove that they are strong, Independent, bold but they are stupid and immature.
because men fool around and maintain marriage for the sake of money.
They get the benefits
Women are hypergamous, most men are just a place holder until they find someone better
