[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m literally being told by the divorced dads: I want a family structure; I want another kid; I have money and can support a family.

Yeah, they do. They also want someone to do the household stuff (best case, split the load). They do not want to be solely responsible for household and kid stuff. Which is fine, I don't either, but the big question is why did they divorce then?[/quote]

This. Women usually file for divorce…not men. 70% are initiated by the woman.[/quote]

I keep hearing this stat on this board; is there a citation?[/quote]

It is cited so many places [/quote]

Honestly, men are more pragmatic when it comes to the prospect of divorce. They take time, perform a Benefit Cost Analysis and find the best scenario and will probably only pull the divorce trigger when most expeditious and cost-effective. Look at the lesbian divorce rate vs gay men if you want to some broader context. Why is it the way it is? Why such a stark contrast? Anyone?[/quote]

I don’t have insight into every man, but when my exDH knew I was unhappy about his treatment of me and the kids and the imbalance within our family life, he waited until things were perfectly tipped in his favor to file. Spent down our shared assets, got a secret promotion, filed 2 weeks before the title and pay raise was official, and then pranced off into the sunset with a 7 figure salary and me making less than 1/10th of that.

The second he realized the balance of our relationship was permanently in his favor, he was done with it. He got what he needed- kids old enough to not need to be wiped or buckled in, childcare so he could build his career- and he was out.[/quote]
