This. They have the jobs and financial possibility to leave the men who dont pull their weight as partners.

+1 you treat me or our kids badly, we're out

The kids aren’t “out.” It’s not like they divorce their father, and it’s not like their care of custody defaults to their mother, nor should it be. If anything, if mom wants to leave, fine, but the kids get to stay with dad since mom’s abandoning the family.

I filed. Got full custody. The kids are doing fine all things considered. It's not like if we stayed things would have been great. It was just trading one bad situation for another that I never wanted based on his behavior. Once the other person starts doing dangerous things and you have money to make the best of a bad situation, you just get out having more confidence in yourself to fix a situation than staying with a dangerous unpredictable person for the kids. I did know I would get full custody before filing but either way I was going to divorce him and give the kids a better life.

You are the wild exception and you should present your experience as typical.

Sorry you made such a shitty life decision in marrying a total loser. It was awful of you to breed with him, to boot. Way to mess up your kids who didn’t ask to be born.

Somebody made a shitty life decision marrying and breeding with you.

Lol. We have a great life, snookums. Two in great colleges now, enjoying life as empty nesters.

I really doubt your H feels the same way unless he is as ungodly awful as you.

In fact, while 78% of women with a bachelor’s degree have a marriage that lasts at least 20 years, just 49% of women with some college education reach this milestone. And, just 40% of women with a high-school education or less have a marriage that lasts 20 years or more.

Also, it's not 90% like OP states, it's 70% and it's not 70% of women, it's 70% of divorced women.

That doesn't make sense. Grandmothers and wives of the boomer and prior generations have long marriages outlasted 20 yrs and didn't divorce for any little thing. Women today are selfish don't think of how it'll affect the kids and are unwilling to work thru anything.

You don’t know what you’re talking about because it takes a woman an average of seven years to actually leave. I read research on this.

Well the statistics disagree. Also, it's not selfish to leave something that is bad. It's better for the kids to not be around a terrible marriage. It's more selfish to subject your kids to a bad marriage every holiday.

They are also the ones who marry more. See how that makes the statistic a little less correct? Other states aren't even getting enough people together to marry. The same thing with this statistic about college women. They are divorcing because they can, not because they are more "Selfish".

65% of people with bachelor's degrees marry, 53% with some college or only HS.

The issue is the statistics of "staying married" is considered "stayed married" if they make it 20 years. 78% stay married if they have a college education, only 50% for some college and 40% for only HS.

But so many get divorced after 20 years, don't have that statistic. I blame viagra. LOL.

I think a lot get divorced after kids leave the nest whenever that is.

I’d rather people not marry at all than divorce.

How does this relate to the first statistic? If I'm reading this right, 65% of people marry with bachelor's degrees. I assume at least 50% of these people are women, maybe more. 51% of college women marry and stay married for 20 years and the other 14% divorce and of those 14%, 90% of the divorces are initiated by women? So, 12.6% of college educated women marry and then initiate divorce before 20 years are up?

Some of it is likely the rigid gender norms still very present in society that only come out once you have a kid. Lots of men who talk the talk about being an involved dad but don't walk the walk.

Luckily I didn't marry one of them.
