+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.

How interesting that you assume I am the wife.

Because they can. Women have so much more agency over their lives. I filed for divorce. I didn’t have to stay in a terrible marriage, because I make enough on my own.

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.

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?

Say you have 100 women

35 are single
50 are married
15 are divorced (13 ish are initiated by women... but it's really 70% OP's stat is off so really 10 ish are initiated by women)

So yea... your stats work out.

That’s about what I see. I’d say about half of the 13 are women who just had a lot of options and their partner was just letting them do all the work and the other half were not in healthy relationships. Educated women though seem to be the group that stays married the most of all groups. This is why the wording of these statistics are so off. It almost makes it seem like college women don’t marry or stay married as much when in fact that isn’t the case.

And if you have 100 non educated women:

47 remain single
29 of them marry and stay married
24 of them divorce of which 17 ish are initiated by women

It's important to show these statistics because it shows how women in college is not contributing to marriage decline.

Large numbers of women are not marrying and college is actually helping women remain married than if they weren't married.

You’re just pissed you realized your wife would leave if she could afford to do so.

Men need to pull their weight. Luckily these women are raising boys too, whether they are single or stay married. This way my daughters will have some good options that don't lead to divorce when they're ready.

Also I don’t need a man-child. We have kids together already and if you aren’t going to treat me as your partner in raising them or even worse, you treat me as your Mom or House-slave, I’m out. I don’t need that, and I don’t want my kids to grow up in a household 24/7 with the dynamic that the man does not pull his weight in parenting and household duties (no matter how much he makes).

Ha. No it doesn't make the stats less correct. Stats are normalized to population. Sound like you need some education... maybe your wife wouldn't have divorced you.

Men are raised by women so look at why the women are doing such a poor job.
