[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 think a lot of lesbians have previous heterosexual marriages, history of abuse, children coming into the marriage, etc.  
I bet if you looked at statistics for first marriages, they would be pretty similar in both groups.

I also do think you are right in that women like having things defined and like having everyone on the same page in respect to relationships.  Maybe it’s because we live in a patriarchal society and women need to maintain social relationships more than men do?  [/quote]

You said “I think” and and “I bet” without any real proof of your assertions regarding the high lesbian divorce rate. It’s the highest divorce rate of all groups bar none.

It’s more likely that women are generally more catty, passive aggressive, flighty, and more likely base decisions on emotions than facts and divorce based on these factors.[/quote]

There are no statistics on divorce rates for first marriages among two women. There are statistics that a lot of lesbians are victims of abuse in prior heterosexual relationships.

And really, if we are going to compare the general cattiness of heterosexual women, do you really think the cattiness level is more like homosexual women or homosexual men?
