Also remember that gay couples have low divorce rates as men like to fix things, lesbian couples have divorce rates similar to or more than heterosexual couples. So it’s women who can’t stand being in a marriage even if it’s to the same gender.
For guys, there’s no reason to be married . Level up, get financially secure and aspire to be the top 5%, as all the women chase that top 5%. Then you can just sleep with who you want even if they’re married.
For those guys who haven’t leveled up to at least a 7 get to work. You’ll find your options are really open once you do.

I disagree with this -- I think women have unrealistic expectations for marriage, particularly post-kids. They let the intimacy wither and die and then wonder why DH isn't feeling romantic/connected with them. I know lots of women who also make parenting choices that trap them into "Mom does it all" dynamics but they won't do anything to extricate themselves from those patterns because of...anxiety? Control issues? Internalized misogyny?
If you don't tolerate dead bedrooms, and if you don't create parenting dynamics and patterns that trap you into resentment, you're much more likely to have a successful marriage.

If you don't have any assets, why would you pay to file? Paying to file doesn't mean that you want out more than the other person. This is what I don't get. It just means you want the best deal in the divorce. You want to control the divorce more.

Imho too much to juggle, kids, husband, education, career, birth family, in-laws, friends, colleagues, finances, household, sex, health, paperwork, social media etc etc. It becomes too much to juggle and still manage good marital life. It feels easier to leave and restart than manage and fix, specially if there are other options out there.

Since they presumably have a good income, the incentive to stay in an unfair marriage is much less.

This. They have the jobs and financial possibility to leave the men who dont pull their weight as partners.

They probably can’t handle the fact their husbands cheated on them
