I have a chronic illness (crohns disease - not in remission). I hope it doesn't affect my marriage.

It'll affect it as much as you let it.

31% of the marriages ended in divorce. That's actually lower than the national rate.

I tend to read these articles with a jaundiced eye because I have a child with special needs and "statistics" are constantly thrown at me that special needs marriages "always" end in divorce. Hmmmm.

OP, thanks for clarifying that you are talking about M/F marriages.

I believe it. I didn't see s breakdown of who is filing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the sick woman, because she's sick of taking care of her husband on top of everything else.

PP. They aren't garbage, but they aren't equipped as caregivers.

I would also bet that there is infideility involved.

Right, she has total control over the effect her disease has on her marriage.

It's 75% if the woman is one to say "men are pieces of garbage". It's much lower if the woman is a better person.

Thing is, how many workplaces are tolerant of men taking time off to help at home?

As "equipped as caregivers"? What is genetically wrong with men that makes them unable to care for another human being?

If what you say is true men should never be given any kind of custody of children as it poses a great risk to the child involved.

There is nothing genetically wrong with them. There are innate and societal differences.

does not surprise me at all.

Also let's face it some folks with chronic illness always seem to have energy for stuff they want to do, but never any for their spouse or family.
