[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]

He continued to prioritize work and his office image and ego after marriage and after kids. He was an absentee husband and father. Even if physically home, he was working, on his smartphone, or “decompressing” by himself. He did not maintain any fatherly or close connections with his spouse or children. He took advantage of his spouse and others to do his role for him. He may have let out his work stress at home. Even if it angry like that, he had no relationships at home, thus they divorced him.

It’s lonely and insulting to live with someone like that. [/quote]
