[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found that it moved through the men in my DH’s circle like a contagion. The first divorce had an affair that triggered it, but the rest all screamed post-midlife crisis. It just took a tiny bit of social permission for a good 50% of his college friend group to divorce their wives in the course of a few years. The crazy thing was that the men apparently talked to each other about it but mostly didn’t acknowledge it in larger social gatherings that we had over the course of those years. It made opening Christmas cards a wild ride.

From what I understand it is very unusual for men to file when both partners have college educations or more, too. [/quote]

I think men in their 50s want to have their cake and eat it too (the benefits of an intact family and a loving wife, plus a side piece), so when we see that women file more often, it could be because their wives aren't willing to tolerate cheating.[/quote]

My BIL went into full-blown panic mode when my SIL filed. He promised the sun, moon and stars but she wanted nothing to do with him after catching him in their bed with his 20-year old intern. [/quote]
