[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh stop with the misogyny.

If women initiate more divorces or refuse to get married to begin with, it's simply because more of us have the economic power to refuse to get into or refuse to stay in a relationship that doesn't value us equally on every level (relational, financial, work load at home, child-rearing duties, employment opportunities, legally, etc.)

And, as a female partner who was cheated on, I can attest that the entire psychology industry is still set up to view infidelity as a "relationship problem" instead of the individual personality problem it is.  Both men and women use the excuse that they aren't getting something from the relationship.  Men have been using that excuse (and it's been accepted) for hundreds of years.  Men say women don't give me enough sex, don't make me feel important enough, don't make my home a welcoming place, etc.....

There is a really interesting piece in the Atlantic recently that talks about this- this psychologist gets blasted often for her view that infidelity has basically nothing to do with the relationship, nor the person being cheated on, most of the time. Something along the lines of "why happy people cheat" or a similar title- from the last few months.[/quote]
