High divorce rate among lesbians

[Anonymous]

Sex. Sex is the most important part of a marriage. Lesbians famously have less sex as the marriage goes on. Gay men are opposite. Straights are in the middle.

On this forum in 99% of divorces I think we can safely conclude who is blamed.

Is it in women's nature that they cant do no wrong in a marriage?

Divorce and discord rate is high among lesbians and power imbalance among gay men. Humans are humans, being queer doesn't make them angels.

We haven’t had widespread gay marriage that long, and I don’t know enough about how married lesbians vary from the hetero marrieds. What happens if you control for age, education, children, income, geography, stuff like that?

OP has no time for that except to make some kind of weird conclusion.

Again - plenty of sociological research to be done on this fascinating phenomenon.

Women divorce each other at significantly higher rates, while men infrequently divorce their husbands; heterosexual divorce rates lie in between.

Why is this so?

Women just care about marital status and defining relationships a lot more than men do. Women push for marriage. When they get married they don’t really cheat or engage in super time consuming hobbies nearly as frequently as men do. When the marriage is having problems, they push for some kind of counseling. If they continue having problems, they file for divorce.

Social relationships are more important to women for a number of reasons. Some of it is biological. Women have higher levels of estrogen and oxytocin. Some of it is social. When you have less power in society as an individual, social relationships are much more important and are needed for survival. It’s more important for women to follow the ‘rules’ than it is for men.

Men generally care less about relationship status, are less interested and take longer to decide to get married, cheat or otherwise act single with much higher frequency, and are less likely to initiate divorce.

Well, the stereotypical gay man seems like a pretty good roommate: clean and fairly easy to live with. Basically, living with a gay man seems like living with a straight woman.

In contrast, the stereotypical gay woman is kind of aggressive and 50/50 might be bringing kids into the marriage. That’s going to be a lot harder to make work.

When there are two women in the relationship you have no lazy man who is miserable but unwilling to put in the work for divorce because then he would have to parent his own children. So higher divorce rate.

Guys, this is false, because people don’t understand statistics.

Lesbians have a much higher divorce rate than gay men…

…but it’s still less than the divorce rate of heterosexual couples. Denmark is highest at 23%.

We can stop arguing about a “fact” that is made-up.

Did you even read the OP? Everything you just said about women is contradicted by the lesbian divorce rate.

Please for the love of God, someone provide a reference or shut up, because everything I have found indicates that this “well-known fact” is complete fabrication.

Or put another way, men are willing to put up with a lot more before they turn to divorce.

No, they just tune out.

Gay married woman here with lots of gay married friends. None are divorced.
Don’t see this being true.
