[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like, specifically. Is it just that they aren't around enough? Is it job stress? Is it disconnect from spouse due to intensity of job (like your work is the biggest thing in your life, and your spouse isn't a part of it)?

I'm looking at these divorced men I know in their 50s, but then I know all these men in the same careers but younger (still married, young kids, seems fine from outside) and wondering how they go from one to the other. Divorce is common enough with these careers that there must be some commonalities, but I can't figure what.[/quote]

I don’t doubt you know a few people that fit this but the reality is high earners do not get divorced often.  Divorce rate for those with income over a million is well below 25%.  At my big law firm with lots of partners I know three that divorced.  Only 3. That is hundreds of partners for over a decade.  All three were affairs with paralegals or associates.

Yeah, physicians/surgeons have relatively low divorce rates as well.
